[mapserver-users] Icon as Inline feature (Annotation layer)

[Sacha Black]

hi,

is use of a PIXMAP icon as an inline feature possible? I just want to
drop an icon in the center of my map.

I thought that something like the below would work, but I don't seem
to get anything to draw (in the middle of a 500x500 image). Am I
missing something very basic, or is this just a wrong idea?
