Hello, After digging hours in the documentation I ended by modifying the generated image file with PIL ... It's not the ideal solution but I don't see an easy way in Mapserver to simply add some text to a generated image. I used http://www.mapserver.org/faq.html#how-do-i-add-a-copyright-notice-on-the-corner-of-my-map for the static ones (which works) but what I really need to do is to make an SQL query (something like select name from map where id=%MYID%) and use that attribute in the TEXT part of the FEATURE section (something like FEATURE POINTS x y END TEXT "Species name: [name]" END) Any idea is welcome on how to do that in the "Mapserver way" ..
