[ka-Map-users] thematic mapping

[Paul Spencer]

Tim,

long term, you will be better off understanding how it happens in a  
map file.  You will need to dig into the documentation for mapserver

Assuming you already have looked at the map file reference, the  
following might give you some hints on where to go next:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/symbology

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cartosymbols

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/msexpressions

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/tutorial/tutorial

Cheers

Paul
