Jorrit,

The ANNOTATION layer is deprecated and might event be remove in mapserver 6.4

Anyway if you just want to put an arbitrary label on an image You can create a point layer and use FEATURE to define where you want the label and use TEXT to define the text of the label.

Hi all,

I try draw an ANNOTATION type layer based on RASTER type layer.  When
doing this based on a shape file I would set the LABEL item on the
ANNOTATION layer to be attribute used in the shapefile.

What LABELITEM should I use when using RASTER data?

I posted the Mapfile I have so far hereunder.

Thank you for your help.

Bye

Jorrit
