This example works: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/offset.map&mode=map&map_layer[0]=FEATURE+POINTS+270000+696000+END+END
You can access your layer through the layer name or it's (zero-based) index. The simple example layer is below with a simple circle symbol defined in the map file. LAYER NAME 'singlepoint' TYPE point STATUS DEFAULT CLASS STYLE COLOR 255 0 0 SIZE 15 symbol "circle" END END END SYMBOL NAME "circle" TYPE ellipse FILLED true POINTS 1 1 END END -----Original Message----- From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Robert Hicks Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 11:07 AM To: thomas bonfort Cc: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] WMS Request for a single point?
