YA, thank you very much for your help! Things work as expected if I write
ANGLE [orientation] # orientation being the name of the column of the
postgis-table
Thanks!
I do find it confusing that declaring the column-name with the data
works differently for different options
LABELITEM "columnname" # LABELITEM [columnname] won't work
ANGLE [columnname] # ANGLE "columnname" won't work
How could I have figured this out myself? Which part of the
documentation did I miss?
best regards
paul

Paul,
I think the syntax for attribute binding is something like
ANGLE [orientation] (attribute value in brackets). Could you try
changing you map file and give it a try.
Best Regards,

Dear List
I'm not the first one to ask this question, but I am unable to use
the older
list-posts as in the meantime (mapserver 5.0) the ANGLEITEM seems to be
deprecated, if I understand this document
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-19
correctly.
I am reading points from a postgis-table and would like Mapserver to
rotate
the symbols of each point according to the rotation-value stored as
integer
in the same table. It works fine as long as I hardcode the angle like
"ANGLE=45". As soon as I try setting ANGLE="orientation" I get the
errormessage:
getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near
(orientierung):(line 126)
Can you help me find my errors?
Thank you very much
Paul
P.S. I can actually read the angle and display it as a label, so it
shouldn't be a problem of reading from the database.
