I'm using MapInfo to import the gml. I don't have mapbasic, so I must rely on MapInfo to import the data.
-----Original Message----- From: Colin Henderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 November 2004 14:06 To: Tim Smith Subject: RE: MI-L Mastermap Text size Tim, What are you using to import the gml to MapInfo? Most third party translators use the style information in the cartographictext layer to make the text appear as expected. There are several attributes that relate to the text styling: <osgb:textRendering> <osgb:anchorPosition>3</osgb:anchorPosition> <osgb:font>1</osgb:font> <osgb:height>3.000</osgb:height> <osgb:orientation>0</osgb:orientation> </osgb:textRendering> The gml above shows the elements you can use to display the text. The attributes DescriptiveGroup and DescriptiveTerm allow you to set the font and colour properties for your text object. There is a standard style guide available for download from the Ordnance Survey website that shows what colours and fonts can be used for text. As to doing it inside MapInfo I suspect you will need to create some mapbasic to process each text item according to the above attributes. Correct application of the height value will mean that text won't overlap.

The problem with this is that the name of some roads is split into two labels - increasing the size makes the two words overlap! -----Original Message----- From: Tim Smith Sent: 15 November 2004 13:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Mastermap Text size Hi List, I am using Ordnance Survey Mastermap data. I've imported the gml file and have selected 'Roads Tracks And Paths' from the 'CartographicText' layer. How can I make the text larger? When overlayed on the roads it's too small. I guess I need to change all the values in the 'Height' field? How can I apply a multiplier to the height?
