Here is what I did to put a label on a circle. My Layer definition
looks like this:
LAYER
NAME "TAPS"
METADATA
"DESCRIPTION" "TAPS"
"RESULT_FIELDS" "MAP VALUE TYPE"
END
TYPE POINT
LABELITEM "VALUE"
STATUS OFF
DATA "TAPS"
CLASSITEM "TYPE"
CLASS
TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
LABEL
COLOR 0 0 0
FONT fritqat
TYPE truetype
SIZE 6
FORCE true
POSITION cc
PARTIALS FALSE
END
EXPRESSION /2$/
COLOR 255 255 255
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 12
SYMBOL "circle"
END
END
and my "circle" symbol definition looks like:
SYMBOL
NAME "circle"
TYPE ellipse
FILLED true
POINTS
25 25
END
END
