You have to use LABELITEM tag within LAYER block, and to define a style, within the CLASS block, define a LABEL block with the name of the font, size and color.
Hope it helps to you IC Carlos Ruiz --- On Fri, 5/29/09, Chris Green <[email protected]> wrote: From: Chris Green <[email protected]> Subject: [mapserver-users] Place names...? To: [email protected] Date: Friday, May 29, 2009, 12:41 PM Hi all Apologies in advance if this turns out to be a stupid question, but I can’t find a way to make Map Server v5.0 display place names. I have created a shape file with points for towns and cities, each of which has a label. If I check this layer with Quantum GIS (which I used to create the points) I can display both the points and the labels showing town and city names. However when I define this layer in the mapfile with type ‘point’ MapServer gives me a display of the points but not the labels. If I define it as type ‘annotation’ I don’t see either points or labels. I feel sure I am missing something obvious but after quite a few hours I am stuck. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
