[mapserver-users] Label priorities in MapServer 6

[Christy Nieman]

Ah.  This seems to be a difference between using ANNOTATIONS vs. 
POINTS.  I was trying to get the same result as using an ANNOTATION to 
draw a point marker with a label in a POINT layer (i.e. that the point 
only gets drawn if the label does).

Never mind :)
