Load image as a point as a point Tile Mill

Question

Ok so I'm trying to load an image as a point on a blank map canvas. Earlier I tried loading an image as a background using:

Map {
    background-image: url(somefolder/someimage.jpg);
}

This worked but I got the same image repeated ad-infinitum. So someone suggested loading the image as a point. I made a CSV file with lat and lon of zero and added a new layer, I attempted to load the image using the same relative address as before:

Map {
    background-color: #b8dee6;
}
#pointlayer {
    point-file: url(somefolder/someimage.jpg);
}

But nothing shows up with this method. Can anyone shed some light as to whats going wrong here? Is the background hiding the image? I've tried flushing the cache.

0	If you are sure that the image file is on the right path, you can try to use the `point-allow-overlap: true` command. `#pointlayer { point-file: url(somefolder/someimage.jpg); point-allow-overlap: true; }` permanent link answered 27 Jul '12, 18:27 Gilliard Lopes 11●2●2●4 accept rate: 0%

0	Does it work with the default styling? See if a red dot shows up (it does for me, TileMill 0.10.1, Mac OS X). If it does, your CSS or jpg is at fault; if it doesn't, your CSV is at fault. permanent link answered 20 May '14, 22:09 josephcheek 1 accept rate: 0%
