I have attached 2 images that show I want to do. Is it possible to do it in mapserver?

Thank you in advance

Hi, yes I will try to illustrate:

 

I have attached 2 pictures: image1 and image2

 

Image1 shows a point and around the point are 4 labels as text. I want to replace the labels as text with images (png files)

 

Thank you

Hi

Is it possible to use images to represent labels?

I have a point. Arround the point I need to represent some labels. I

can do this by setting-up the ANGLE in LABELS in MAP file. My question

is if I can replace the text from the labels with some images.

Example: in the central-upper part should be a image with an compass

instead of writing North and on the central-right side should be an
image with the sun instead of writing Sunrise

Is it possible?


Thank you in advance


William
