[mapserver-users] A symbol like a string

[Carlos Ruiz]

Andrea,
If you need very few symbols with several letters, you can generate a PNG file for each and use them as PIXMAP symbols.
Cheers

 Subject: [mapserver-users] A symbol like a string
   
Hi,
Reading the documentation I see that is possible to have a
symbol like a single character.
Like this example:

SYMBOL
  NAME "P"
  TYPE truetype
  FONT "arial"
  CHARACTER "P"
END # SYMBOL

But is possible to have a symbol with a string of more than 1 char ?

Something like this

SYMBOL
  NAME "code_aap"
  TYPE truetype
  FONT "arial"
  CHARACTER "AAP"
END # SYMBOL

I cannot use a Label because it is not reported in the legend.

Thx.
