[mapserver-users] Color the world, but not my country

[Wim Vanbelle]

I came across this, but I'm not quite sure to what other layer it should
relate? I would only have the 'Netherlands' description of the borders.

I do not want to use the world dataset file, because it's too big. I cannot
just add a 'complement' to the country layer or am I misinterpreting the
mask function?

It would be solved I believe if I could add a LAYER which did not require a
datasource and renders everything black, but that is not possible I
believe, because mapserver always requires a type and the annotation type
is deprecated since 6.2

Thanks in advance.
