Hello,
I have a label that displays a number in scientific notation; for
example 2.08+e002. I would like the label to display as an integer such
as 2.08. In the past I asked a similar question about HTML templates and
someone mentioned that I should use “[item name="area" precision=2]”
Unfortunately, the statement seems invalid as a label in the .map file.
Does anyone know how I can display a number as an integer? Or will I
have to convert all my values to Text? I am using mapserver 5.4
I don't think there was any way to format numeric labels in version 5.x
and older.
However, MapServer 6.0 (RFC 64) introduced a toString() function that
can be used in labels as follows:
TEXT ("[area]")
TEXT (tostring([area],"%.2f"))
TEXT ("Area is: " + tostring([area],"%.2f"))
