[mapserver-users] proportional circle legend

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Ok, I couldn't resist  . . .

http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/DB/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/AVL/DEV/spec_sym_test_public.map?mapext=509450%20119950%20630550%20190050&mapsize=1211%20701&mode=legend&searchmap=true&

ran into a problem with placing text on these.  I tried all sorts of permutations of using LABEL to add to this for the three different sizes.  I tried with a single label, separate labels, etc.  Anyone got suggestions?

...
	CLASS
	
	  		NAME "Some Title"
				
	   		STYLE
				COLOR 0 255 0
				OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
				SIZE 40
				SYMBOL "circle"
			END
	   		STYLE
				COLOR 255 0 0 
				OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
				SIZE 30
				OFFSET 0 5
				SYMBOL "circle"
	   		END
	   		STYLE
				COLOR 255 255 0
				OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
				SIZE 20
				OFFSET 0 10
				SYMBOL "circle"
	   		END
		END

Hi Steve,

I think your best would be to set a KEYIMAGE in your CLASS:
