I'm sure there is something very simple that I am not understanding. Before
trying to get all this working on my linux server, I thought I would try the
MS4W package from DM solutions to get the hang of things.
I have spent two days trying to get a MAPINFO .tab file to display using the
tutorial in MapLab.
Basically, I just wanted to add another layer using my own source file. OGR
works, and I don't get any errors when I use the Preview function. My layer
appears in the menu, but I can't see anything displayed on the screen
The extra lines from my MAP file are :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAYER
NAME "MBBDY"
STATUS ON
TYPE POLYGON
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "c:\ms4w\apps\maplab-2.2\tutorial\data\MBBDY.tab"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
CLASS
END
END
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and the output from OGRINFO follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\ms4w\tools\ogr-utils>ogrinfo -ro -al
c:\ms4w\apps\maplab-2.2\tutorial\data\MBBDY.tab

Is there a parameter missing from my MAP file?
