[mapserver-users] Still can't draw points

[Michael McInnis]

YES!
I find it odd that points are the only type that require a separately defined symbol in order to see a graphical product.I was able to draw polygons and lines without this extra step.
But thanks so much for pointing this out, now I can draw all my data!
