to rotate the text. As is you should be throwing parsing errors. the item
storing the angle need not be numeric although the values must represent
numbers upon conversion.

What I am trying to do is use annotation from a Geodatabase. From what
I hear GeoMoose / Map Server will not read it.
I converted the Annotation Feature Class to a Point.
Then created a Polygon from the Annotation Feature Classes, pointing to
the Point Feature class for the Attributes (label field, degree field)
I then read the Polygons into GeoMoose and label on the field and Angle
the text by "Angle' Field.
The ANGLE call to Map Server dosent seem to work in this case
Any thoughts?

Subject: Labeling
Don't know if I have to correct location.
I have been successful labeling street centerlines using the ANGLE
FOLLOW in the .map File
This is being performed on a Shapefile Line feature
I also have a Polygon Feature that has a field that I am trying to
label....once again I need the text to follow the polygon
As you can see from the image the road names a following properly, but
the labels for the polygons are not following...
I tried the ANGLE FOLLOW on the Polygon and It will not draw..
I tried ANGLE [Angle] with Angle being a field name that holds Degree
values (ex 270) does the field have to be numeric?
Is there some other syntax that I have to put in the map file that will
force the text to follow the Polygon?
THANKS
