Thanks Steve, but may I be blond...
In my layer definition, I have specified the line type as follows, - can I simply add the Style for the shield.png at the end of my 2 styles, or at what stage do I define the "Labeling symbol"? NAME "Roads" STATUS ON TYPE ANNOTATION STATUS DEFAULT # TYPE LINE CONNECTIONTYPE postgis CONNECTION "user=postgres password=postgres dbname=posgis_ascii host=localhost port=5432" DATA "the_geom from roads" CLASSITEM "type" # field used by EXPRESSION in class objects # Begin classes for Freeways CLASS EXPRESSION ('[type]' = 'Freeway') NAME "Freeways" MAXSCALE 1000000 MINSCALE 500001 STYLE # Draw the outline SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 0 0 0 SIZE 6 END STYLE # Draw the center redline SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 255 0 0 SIZE 4 END END Regards Andre -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Lime Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 4:58 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS@LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Labeling roads Hi Andre: You use annotation layers. I think the demo shows this off. A layer would look like: LAYER NAME 'road_anno' TYPE ANNOTATION STATUS DEFAULT DATA 'roads' LABELITEM 'roadnum' CLASS STYLE SYMBOL 'shield.png' END LABEL COLOR 0 0 0 SIZE TINY END END END Steve >>> Andre Schoonbee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/05/07 8:32 AM >>> How can I label a road by using the state symbol and putting the road no on top of it?
