[mapserver-users] Place names...?

[James Leveille]

Hi Chris,

 

In order to help us help you, give us an overview of you code ...

It should work fine with POINT.

 

Here is a working example :

 

 

  LAYER

 

    NAME                  "pd_p_bldg"

    STATUS                ON

    DUMP                  TRUE

 

    PROJECTION

        . . . 

    END

    METADATA

        . . . 

    END

 

    EXTENT                3000000 0 10000000 5000000

 

    DATA                  "pd_p/subset_pd_p"

    TYPE                  POINT

 

    LABELITEM             "bldg_label"

 

    CLASS

      STYLE

        SYMBOL            "single_building"

      END

      LABEL

        TYPE              TRUETYPE

        FONT              "times-bold"

        SIZE              11

        POSITION          AUTO

        COLOR             227 119 0

        OUTLINECOLOR      250 250 250

        PARTIALS          FALSE

      END

    END

 

  END

Hi all

 

Apologies in advance if this turns out to be a stupid question, but I can't find a way to make Map Server  v5.0 display place names. I have created a shape file with points for towns and cities, each of which has a label. If I check this layer with Quantum GIS (which I used to create the points) I can display both the points and the labels showing town and city names. However when I define this layer in the mapfile with type 'point' MapServer gives me a display of the points but not the labels.  If I define it as type 'annotation' I don't see either points or labels. I feel sure I am missing something obvious but after quite a few hours I am stuck.  Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
