[mapserver-users] 'dot' only features that are labeled

[Steve Lime]

Two ways:

  - use an annotation layer
  - use label styles (6.0+)

You'd use the latter if you're drawing markers, in addition to other
symbolization of the geometries themselves (e.g. text+shields+road
line work).

If you're really doing just points just change TYPE POINTS to TYPE ANNOTATION.

But I'd like to show the feature dots for those things that are labeled and not the bazillion other points w/i that tile that aren't.  So simply putting a SYMBOL and a COLOR alongside the LABEL doesn't work because it gladly draws all the dots.  I'm looking for a way to tie the drawing of a LABEL w/ the drawing of its dot.  Any way to do that?
