I have a very simple mapfile to display a bunch of points as PNG symbols.

Problem is that the transparent part of the symbols are clobbering each other with the background color (see attached image). What I would like to see is a whole wack of merged together symbols when they are overlapping without the background color coming through.

Any thoughts as to what could be causing this?

Cheers,

Ben Brehmer
