[mapserver-users] WMS Request for a single point?

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

This example works:  http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/offset.map&mode=map&map_layer[0]=FEATURE+POINTS+270000+696000+END+END

You can access your layer through the layer name or it's (zero-based) index.  

The simple example layer is below with a simple circle symbol defined in the map file.  

  LAYER
    NAME 'singlepoint'
    TYPE point
    STATUS DEFAULT
    CLASS
        STYLE
            COLOR 255 0 0
            SIZE 15
            symbol "circle"
        END
    END
   END

SYMBOL
  NAME "circle"
  TYPE ellipse
  FILLED true
  POINTS
    1 1
  END
END

Ok, that looks extremely promising. I'm going to go ahead and try it
on my local Mapserver.
