[MAPSERVER-USERS] how to avoid overlapping points

[daa32]

Hi Steve,

I´m using a point shape. Here you can see part of my map file:

LAYER  
 
 NAME 'prueba'
 DATA 'G:\shapes\prueba'
 TYPE POINT
 STATUS on
 MAXSCALEDENOM 500000
 
 OPACITY ALPHA
 TOLERANCE 4
 DUMP TRUE
 DEBUG OFF
 PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"

SYMBOLSCALEDENOM 1000000 
  CLASSITEM 'CENTRO'
  
 
  CLASS
  NAME 'Aeropuertos'
  EXPRESSION ('[CENTRO]' = '5')
   
  STYLE
   COLOR 0 0 0
   SYMBOL 'aeropuertos'
   SIZE 10
   #MINSIZE 1
   MAXSIZE 14
   
  END #STYLE
 END #CLASS 
 
CLASS
  NAME 'helipuertos'
  EXPRESSION ('[CENTRO]' = '2')
   
  STYLE
   COLOR 0 0 0
   SYMBOL 'helipuertos'
   SIZE 10
   #MINSIZE 1
   MAXSIZE 14
   
  END #STYLE
 END #CLASS 

then, I understood from your advice I have to use "TYPE ANNOTATION" , better
than "TYPE POINT" to avoid overlapping , haven´t I?

I´ve attached a screen capture where you can check my problem

Thanks again
