Force label for tiny polygon

[Jørn Vegard Røsnes]

Thanks,

I added a layer like this and it works as I want:

LAYER
     NAME "oilspill_20070502_141558_point"
     CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
     CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=konserv host=hostname port=5432"
     DATA "poly from feature using SRID=4326"
     TYPE point
     CLASS
          TEXT ([oid]-[timestamp])
          EXPRESSION ('[timestamp]' == '20070502_141558' AND [threshold] >= 0 
AND [threshold] < 100)
          LABEL
            FONT arial
            TYPE truetype
            SIZE 7
            MINDISTANCE 0
            COLOR 0 0 0
          END
          COLOR 224 64 0
     END
     PROJECTION
        "init=epsg:4326"
     END
END

cheers
