Thank you David.
I will try this this morning.
Another related question though. When I define an SVG symbol for use like this
how big should the original symbol be or does it not matter and it is 'tuned'
via the symbol size values in the SLD/CSS?

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Label shields as direction indicators
I believe the shield will be rotated along with the text when you use
<VendorOption name="followLine">true</VendorOption>
If so, it seems that you can use select an icon based on the direction
attribute. SVG icons would be good - when you have GeoServer manipulating your
icons, storing them in a vector format helps to reduce visual artifacts. If
SVG's not an option for whatever reason, using high-resolution icons can also
help avoid problems.
I've attached CSS (using the community module) and SVG examples, hope it helps.

Hello List,
I would like to be able to render road numbers inside a shield where the shield
itself is used to indicate direction. I'm guessing that I would require 3
different shield symbols (SVG?), or possibly just two if one can be rotated.
One symbol would be a rectangle with an arrow at each end (indicating
bidirectional) the other(s) a rectangle with just the arrow at one end
(indicating direction)
So, I have a couple of questions:
* Is this the correct approach for achieving this objective?
* How do you control the orientation of a label shield in order to have
the arrow pointing in the correct direction?
The data has an attribute of Forward, Backward or Both relative to the order in
which the line is defined.
Any helps or pointers greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
