[MS4W-Users] How to build mapfile symbology with dynamic value inside the symbol?

[Mark Volz]

Shiva,
It is also possible to use an image background as well.

CLASS
	TEXT ([ROADNUM])
	MAXSCALEDENOM 260000
	#EXPRESSION 'A30'
	EXPRESSION ('[CLASS]' eq 'A30' and '[ROADNUM]' ne '0')
	COLOR 0 0 0 #dummy color
	SYMBOL 'symbols/highway.png'
	LABEL
		type truetype  # AGG required 
		size 7 #for AGG
		ANTIALIAS TRUE
		FONT vera_sans  #for AGG
		MINFEATURESIZE 25
		MINDISTANCE 200
	END # LABEL
END #CLASS

This snippet is from a annotation layer
