[Mapserver-users] How to Embedded text or image in map

[Emil Zegers]

Hello Xavier,

You can embed positioned elements like text or elements the following
way:

LAYER
  NAME "credits"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TRANSFORM FALSE
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  FEATURE
    POINTS
      10, 10
    END
    TEXT 'www.strategis.fr'
  END
  CLASS
    LABEL
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT "arial"
      SIZE 11
      ANTIALIAS TRUE
     COLOR 0 0 0
    END
  END
END

This layer should be added as the last layer in the map file to show on
top.

Same for images (this could be the scaelbar, however you will need some
serverside scripting to rename/copy the current scalebar to the defined
path/filename provided in the layer, I don't know how to get this
dynamic)

LAYER
  NAME "scalebar"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TRANSFORM FALSE
  DATA "/path/to/file/scalbar.png"
END

Best regards,

Emil Zegers
