Hi Thomas,
Thanks for elaborating on that, I was under the false impression that
MINSIZE worked similar to MINSCALE in that it defined minimum criteria
for the class to be applied.
Will try this now. Thanks again!

Hi again,
using:
size 8
minsize 8
maxsize 8
is *exactly* the same as using only size 8 with pixel sizeunits
i.e. this effectively prevents the labels scaling at all

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply. I have already plaid around with MINSIZE and MAXSIZE.
They are a good way to avoid the labels being displayed when they are too
small to read. Also coupled with MINSCALE and MAXSCALE class definitions I
was able to set up three classes for large, medium and small text depending
on the scale used.
This isn't a bad solution at all but I wanted to see if there is away to
prevent the labels scaling at all within the same layer definition as the
scalable (real-world sized) lines.
Thanks,
Vladimir

hi,
you can use minsize and maxsize in your label: these are always pixels:
size 8
minszie 8
maxsize 8

Hi All,
In the Mapfile, Is it possible to have different SIZEUNTIS for line width
and label font in the same layer? The example is below.
I have managed to solve this by defining two layers one which only
displays
the line and one which only displays the labels however this seems like a
hack and very inefficient from a processing / querying point of view.
The context is a line layer containing road lines which have a width in
meters but labels in pixels. This would make things scale nicely Can this
be
done? Does anyone have a better approach?
Thanks,
Vladimir
