Hi,
There's the SIZEUNITS parameter in the mapfile that can help you. I'm
not sure it works with labels, but it worth a try:

You can also try to set STYLEITEM AUTO at the layer level, but that
won't work with labels.

Hi,
after deploying MapServer on one of our servers I thinks that MapServer
is a great tool but I am having some problems with TABs, imported from
MapInfo. I am able to load all the layers from the test workspace except
one, which consists of a houses (circle symbol) and house addresses
(auto-labeling from the data field "Address").
I have therefore some questions and will be very glad if there are some
answers available :)
- In MI for that layer I have auto labeling set which works OK. When I
look at the map on different zooms, the text is larger or smaller, but
every label exists and if I zoom in enough, every house has it's number
visible. Is there a chance to somehow "directly" load this auto labeling
into MapServer? If it is, how can I do this?
I haven't found a good answer to the first question, so the next one is:
- I have problems getting all the house addresses from MI since it
creates the labels only with the sizes according to current zoom level
AND only the part of the map visible at that moment. So when I want to
have all the houses numbered with readable addresses (not covering each
other), I have to zoom in enough and then move with cursor along the
entire map for MI to "create" satisfactory labels. Using this method
(well, it's a very very stupid one!) it works for smaller maps, but for
larger it's a no-no. Also the labeling tools that are in MI affect
current view only. Is there a tool which would do it more user-friendly?
Since this is a pretty common problem as I see it, I am sure that some
of you already had this problem and (hopefully!) found a solution.
Thanks everyone for help and ideas in advance,
Matej Serc
