Matt,
For
question #1, are you talking about the .dbf that is part of the shapefile, or a
second .dbf that you would like to join to?
For
question #2, I would just suggest downloading the legislative district
shapefiles from the MN Legislative GIS Office: http://www.gis.leg.mn/metadata/leg02.htm
(there is a download link in the metadata)
David.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Shading Polygons and removing internal boundaries from shapefilesHi,I just installed MapServer because I want to do some graphical shading of polygons that represent MN voting precints. I have two particular questions:1. Is there an example mapfile or mapscript that helps me understand how to shade polygons on a scale based upon a numeric value in a .dbf file?2. I want to graphically show Legislative districts, and I have voting precint shapefiles. How do I aggregate precints that belong to a legislative district and make that one polygon, erasing the lines that would be internal to this aggregated region?
