Yewondwossen,
thanks for the link. I had to switch off the "FORCE true" option of the sample map file
and it now works perfectly.

Nils,
look at this thread: it gives details of what you want to accomplish
with an example of a working layer:

Hi David,
your suggestion is similar to Jeff's?
How would I treat a point as lable? I haven't had any luck in
displaying the points with "TYPE ANNOTATION".
What would the syntax in the mapfile would look like to either treat a
point as lable or with "TYPE ANNOTATION"?
My mapfile currently looks like:
LAYER
NAME 'Field research locations'
DATA '../vector/gps/fieldresearch_complete'
STATUS default
TYPE point
#TYPE annotation
TRANSPARENCY 100
TOLERANCE 7
TOLERANCEUNITS pixels
UNITS kilometers
METADATA
...
END #METADATA
PROJECTION
...
END #PROJECTION
CLASSITEM 'StudyFocus'
#LABELITEM 'LableAnnot'
CLASS
NAME 'Research locations (all)'
#MINSCALEDENOM 1000000
STYLE
SYMBOL 'ttf_pin-sm'
SIZE 10
COLOR 255 180 0
ANGLE 345
END #STYLE
END #CLASS
END #LAYER

If you treated them as labels when zoomed out (maxscale 50000 for
example), then you could take advantage of the label colission
features of mapserver to avoid overlaps.
when zoomed in further you could have another layer (minscale 50000
for example) that shows all the detail...
so you would have two layer definitions in this case...
Cheers,
Percy

Dear list,
I got a layer with gps points. On the largest scale of my map the
symbols for points overlap and are not distinguishable from one
another since they are too close together.
Is it possible to tell mapserver to draw only that many of the
points/symbols that do not overlap, so that more points will be
shown the more I zoom into the map?
Thank you,
Nils
