ok - got zoom to work - another question

[Joseph Norris]

Steve,

Right now it looks like I am getting the whole polygon covered with ellipses
or I am not doing the ellipse correctly.  For my demonstration I would like
to put the number of teachers on a single ellipse - then the user could zoom
in and see this.

Sorry Steve - I do not see how to do this in the docs.

68,-26,11,15,1,12,4,-68,-22,11,14,14,5,15,-90);

Joseph,

This will be problematic if you are placing the ellipse at the zipcode
centroid because all the ellipses will be located at the same location
and you will only see the last one that is drawn.

What you might want to do is make the ellipse a hot spot and do some
javascript onRollover to pop up a box with the names in it. Or to place
the number of teachers on a single ellipse, or to list all the teacher
names in a single ellipse.

These would need to be done in mapscript some way. but I don't think you
will be able to get mapserver to do it automatically for you.
