[Mapserver-users] SLD and mapserver...

[William White]

Tom - you are the man...

Thanks to your help, I am finally able to draw colours on maps!  Check 
it out:

http://www.globalfinancemap.com/

I'm currently using the WorldGen,WorldPolitical layers at 
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_world.  If anyone has any other 
mapservers/layers they would suggest which might offer better images, 
yet still allow me to colour different countries - please let me know.

Thanks again Tom!

Kind Regards.

William.
