[mapserver-users] Getting a vector layer to "fill in" via PostGIS connection

[Robert Hicks]

I have a vector layer which is a table in my postgres database and I want
the MapServer to draw the outlines and also fill in the background with a
slighly lighter color. I get all the details of the outlines to come out
however the background is completely transparent. Does anyone know how to do
this?

Here is the layer in my Mapfile:

 LAYER
  # name of layer
  NAME "namespace:layer"
  GROUP "Group"

  # what type of data is this?
  TYPE POLYGON

  # always returned with interface
  STATUS ON

  #TRANSPARENCY 100

  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis

  CONNECTION "user=user dbname=db host=localhost port=5432
password=pass"
  DATA "the_geom from layer"
  CLASS
    STYLE
        SIZE 20
        OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
            #COLOR 255 0 0
         #WIDTH 10
    END
    STYLE
        SIZE 20
         BACKGROUNDCOLOR 0 0 255
    END
   END
 END

THANKS!
