Richard,

Have a look at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/html-legend-howto.html

You can use the attached template to create a legend that will display
classes with their names.

Regards,

Jacob

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Building a legend - with class objects in layers

hi,

I am using mapserver to display some geology datasets.

A particular layer has multiple classes in order to show the various
features (different rock types).  The features are color-coded, therefore, i
need each feature (class) to display in the legend.

However, when the legend is generated, it just creates one item, based on
the layer name.  it doesn't iterate through the various class objects.

Is this the way it is supposed to work?  Or is there a way to get it to
create a legend item for each class item within a layer.  At present i am
creating new layer objects for each item i want to display.  I have put the
map file i am using at the bottom of this email.

Thanks in advance,

Richard
