[mapserver-users] labeling streets

[Thomas Bonfort]

Raivo,

are you sure that your streets only contain one feature?
If you are using 5.4+, you can check by appending a geomtransform
style to your street layer, to draw a symbol at the beginning of each
feature:

style
  geomtransform "start"
  symbol "circle"
  color 255 0 0
  size 15
end

regards,

thomas
