no legendgraphic for class with (colored) TEXT as a symbol

[Huub Fleuren]

Bart,

thanks, the following is the correct way to do it

adding a symbol

SYMBOL
 NAME B
 TYPE TRUETYPE
 FONT arial_bold
 FILLED true
 ANTIALIAS true
 CHARACTER 'B'
END

and changing

 CLASS
   EXPRESSION ([PROJECTSOORT] = 200)
   NAME "Bouwlocatie"
   STYLE
       SYMBOL 'B'
       COLOR 255 100 0
       SIZE 14
   END
 END

Regards, Huub (geodan)
