All, I'm playing around with generating a map collar image by labeling some lines with MapServer.
I get the labels looking about what I would like them to look like, but the alignment vertically ( and this applies to horizontal alignment as well ) is not playing nice. See this link: http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/FED/USGS/USNG/mn_usng_lines_labels_public_2.map?mapext=503179.6728349806%20111379.8994326578%20508281.0020239575%20135621.41573867595&mapsize=70%20600&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1241653121858 ( http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/FED/USGS/USNG/mn_usng_lines_labels_public_2.map?mapext=503179.6728349806%20111379.8994326578%20508281.0020239575%20135621.41573867595&mapsize=70%20600&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1241653121858 ) I'm thinking that the labels are moving back and forth horizontally because of the underlying line work, It's not strictly horizontal but curved slightly, and there may or may not be a vertice visible within a view. (Can a vertice be marked somehow?) So I think MapServer is using the longest straight segment within the view to center on for labeling. Question, how do I get these to line up vertically (and horizontally)? I know there was some recent justification work going on, but didn't follow it in detail.
