How can I display characters in a map by mapfile?
- by sirius
Hello.
I'm trying to show a map using postGIS+Mapserver.And I've displayed a PNG picture in my WEB.
However, I want to show some charactors in the map, just like this:
this is the example from Mapserver
Now I'm using database(postgreSQL), but not a shape file. How can I add the charactors then?
Here is a part of my mapfile:
LAYER
CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
NAME "state"
//Connect to a remote spatial database
CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=*** host=*** password=***"
PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"
DATA "the_geom from province"
STATUS ON
TYPE POLYGON
CLASS
STYLE
COLOR 122 122 122
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
END
LABEL
COLOR 132 31 31
SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218
SHADOWSIZE 2 2
TYPE TURETYPE
FONT arial-bold
SIZE 12
ANTIALIAS TRUE
POSITION CL
PARTIALS FALSE
MINDISTANCE 300
BUFFER 4
END
END
Some said adding a "TEXT ([*])" in "LABEL", but I don't know howto?
Thanks for your help!
