SET THE SCALE OF WHERE CLASSES OF FEATURES DISPLAY

[Newland Agbenowosi]

Bob,
Below is an example layer definition showing how to draw the same layer at
different scales by defining the MINSCALE/MAXSCALE for each class.  In you
case, you migh need some thing like this:

LAYER
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /^1/
    MINSCALE ??
    MAXSCALE ??
    COLOR 100 100 100
    SIZE 7
    SYMBOL "circle"
  END
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /^2/
    MINSCALE ??
    MAXSCALE ??
    COLOR 10 10 10
    SIZE 7
    SYMBOL "circle"
  END
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /^3/
    MINSCALE ??
    MAXSCALE ??
    COLOR 100 100 100
    SIZE 7
    SYMBOL "circle"
  END
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /^4/
    MINSCALE ??
    MAXSCALE ??
    COLOR 10 10 10
    SIZE 7
    SYMBOL "circle"
  END
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /^5/
    MINSCALE ??
    MAXSCALE ??
    COLOR 10 10 10
    SIZE 7
    SYMBOL "circle"
  END
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /^6/
    MINSCALE ??
    MAXSCALE ??
    COLOR 100 100 100
    SIZE 7
    SYMBOL "circle"
  END
  CLASSITEM "<FIELD_NAME>"
END

  I am new to mapserv. I am trying to set-up a map file for roads. I have a
field in my road shape file that has a number from 1 to 6. 6 is the
interstate, 5 are the major roads and it goes down to 1 that are private sub
division roads. I want to set-up one layer with 6 classes, one for each
class of roads. Then at different scales I want to set different classes of
roads to display and to show its name. Seams to me there should be a way to
set the color, the maximum and minimum scale that each class of roads line
shows and a separate setting to set the scale of its label. Can anyone give
me an example MAP file for doing this?



  The object of this is so that when I look at the full map all I see are
the interstates and as I zoom in I see more roads and more labels till I get
down to the point I see all roads and labels.



  Thanks

  Bob West
