Hi,
I am a Mapserver Newbie. I have a mapinfo map with text labels. I have =
exported the mapinfo.tab file to shape files. I get a files like
lt_text.shp and lt_polyline.shp
When I display the lt_polyline.shp in mapserver it displays fine. I use =
the line type.
When I display the lt_text.shp in mapserver it draws points where the =
text would be. I am using the point type.
I need to be able to get mapserver to actually display the text labels. =
How can I do this ?? I have tried various types for the text shp file, =
but it either does not display the text or it makes an error and does =
not diplay the map. The dbf file that is alongside the shp file has all =
the labels in it. Can anyone help ??
Thanks,
James.
