[mapserver-users] attach text to displayed features that are coming from postgis

2008-08-18 Thread John Mitchell 
Hi,

I would like to be able to attach text to displayed features that are coming
from postgis.  Currently I am just displaying points (layer displayed below)
as an ellipse from postgis, but I would like to have text on top of each
ellipse based on the contents of a field uniquely associated to each point.

John

 LAYER
  # name of layer
  NAME "gv:tasmania_cities"
  GROUP "Collaboration"

  # what type of data is this?
  TYPE POINT

  # always returned with interface
  STATUS ON

  TRANSPARENCY 100

  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis

  CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=gvdb host=localhost port=5432
password=password1117"
  DATA "the_geom from tasmania_cities"


  CLASS
STYLE
symbol "dot"
SIZE 8
  COLOR 0 0 0
END
   END
 END

Dear John,

You just need to use these additional lines in your class definition: 

CLASS
-
---
LABELITEM "column_name"

LABEL
  COLOR  150 150 150
  FONT sans
  TYPE truetype
  SIZE 10
  PARTIALS FALSE
END 
---
---
END #class

Regards,
Ritesh Ambastha
