Wow, thanks a lot! I was especially waiting for the upright="" functionality.
In an application I'm planning to use this, I would actually prefer to use
an alternate text if it is turned upside down (because I'd like to print
"<- that way" or "that way ->" depending on rotation).
Something like:
<TextSymbolizer upright="alternate"
alternate_text="[name_right]">[name_left]</TextSymbolizer>
or (maybe easier):
<TextSymbolizer upright="only_left">[name_left]</TextSymbolizer>
<TextSymbolizer upright="only_right">[name_right]</TextSymbolizer>
Do you think this would be possible?
greetings,
Stephan
