Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Question about Labels
> Hello everyone,
>
> It's been quite a while since I posted here, everything went pretty
> smooth so far.
>
> Now I have a small problem with labels. We have MapInfo .TAB files,
> which are converted from AutoCAD drawings (meaning everything is in
> one
> layer).
> When I open one of these files in MapInfo, I can see labels on some
> places. When I draw the map with MapServer, I see only the
> (poly)lines.
>
> So, I added an extra layer of type Annotation. This, by default,
> doesn't
> show me any layers. So I need to add LABELITEM, but I have no idea
> what
> layers need to be labeled. Also, this changes with every file that's
> being drawn.

> Does anyone know how to tell MapServer to draw labels "The MapInfo"

> My current layer definition:

> LAYER
> NAME topo
