I am fairly new to mapserver, and i'm trying to create labels very similar to the ones that you see here:
http://maps.huge.info/zip.htm (type a zip code to see the lables) Basically, the labels are centered inside the polygons and they very in size depending on the size of the zip code. I figured out how to center the labels by adding PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON" to the label. This worked great, except when the label falls on the border of a tile it is clipped. (I am not using tilecache or any other meta-tile technology) I found that I can say this to remove the labels that would be clipped, but the problem is that then there are no labels at all for some polygons! WEB METADATA #prevents the tiles from having labels rendered on their edges "labelcache_map_edge_buffer" "-10" END END Questions: 1) how can I display labels at the center of ploygons and still have them work in the event that the center of a polygon falls on a tile border 2) I want to display smaller labels for smaller features. Is the only way to do this to perform preprocessing on my data to assign size parameters to each polygon? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
