[Mapserver-users] plot on map

Mon May 31 21:52:58 PDT 2004

hi all,

i have just manage to create an applet to load a shape
file and display a simply map of main roads. However I
actually would like to plot a dot on the map according
to lat/long (lat/long will most probably be retrieved
from database). Can anyone please point me to the area
where i can get more information on plotting the map.
If anyone has done this before, please post any sample
codes that i can refer to.

Any advice would be grealy aprreciated.

Thanks

al

below is how the map is created (based on one of the
example):

------test.xml-------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
   <layer name="Msia_Mainroads">
     <dataset
url="MalaysiaBasemap/Msia_Mainroads.shp"/>
     <symbol fill="255:255:255" outline="0:128:255"
size="6"/>
   </layer>
</project>
----------------------

-------test.html------
<html>
 <applet codebase =.
        code     = org.alov.viewer.SarApplet
        archive  = alov_applet.jar
        width  = 800 height = 600 align=center>
   <param name="pid"  value="test.xml">
 </applet>
</html>
----------------------
