Map file is one of the main files required by the map server. This file contains a map of how it will be displayed, including information on the color, font, projection, etc..
The need for the appearance of the map is varied and complex requires the creation of this file can be generated automatically from the shape file.
Using Quantum GIS to save map as map file, with the following steps :
1. Open Shape file
2. Edit any information, include legend attribute, color, word text, label, symbology, etc.
3. Save as qgs file.
4. Save as map file
5. Edit map file to fulfill any other setting needed, such as path img file.
6. Done, map file is ready to used
