[mapserver-users] dynamically added shapes and their values

[Steve Lime]

PG: At this point inline feature can carry no attributes and as a result cannot be
classified. So I don't think you're going to be able to make this work. The work
around is to use separate layers for what would have been a class and add
features to the appropriate layer.
