[Chameleon] categorize single polygon layer into different color

[Paul Spencer]

Rajan,

this is a Map File issue, not a widget issue (and probably should have 
been sent to the mapserver-users list).  The short answer is to add 
CLASSITEM <fieldname> to your LAYER and create multiple CLASS objects. 
In each one, add EXPRESSION "<value>" to have that class apply to that 
value.  There are a great many options for building expressions and for 
styling your layers (using STYLE objects is recommended since MapServer 4.0)

I strongly recommend that you review the excellent documentation on the 
mapserver site for information about classes and styling.

Cheers

Paul
