# MapServer map file uses the pound sign (#) to denote the start of a line
# comment--each line that needs to be commented has to be prepended with a "#".
#
# Map files begin with MAP keyword to signify the start of the map object.
# Well, the entire map file is THE map object. Enclosed between MAP and END
# at the very bottom of this map file, are keyword/value pairs and other
# objects.

TYPE POLYGON
# The class object is defined within the layer object. You can define as
# many classes as you need (well, there are limits as with layers, but it's
# senseless to define more than ten on a "normal" layer. There are
# situations, however, where you might have to do it.)
CLASS
NAME "The Upper Great Lakes States"
# There are styles in a class, just like there are classes in a layer,
# just like there are layers in a map. You can define multiple styles in
# a class just as you can define multiple classes in a layer and multiple
# layers in a map.
