hi,

with a map of the world with country boundaries and
using only the mapserver CGI, is it possible to have the countries filled with one of ~5 different colors. either at random or uniformly. is there a way to do this in the mapfile without relying on attributes in the shapefile?

my fallback solution will be to add a column in the .shp and assign number 1 - 5 to each country and use that in a map file EXPRESSION. i thought maybe there was another means i was missing. something like an automatic alternating color scheme... to help me do less work.

thanks,
-brent
