Professor Steve.Lime,
How are you!
I am a beginner for MapServer. I want to draw dynamic thematic map via MapServer.
My ques is : There is only one polygon layer (.shp files)with several attributes fields.I will develop a web app via MapServer that allows users selecting the number of classification for this layer via the dropdown list components or write into the text field on the web app ,such as ie or firefox. In this case,one could draw thematic map of the layer with 4 subclass,and others with 5 subclass. How can i do? Would you like to give me a sample?
Best Regards,
Rui jx
