Hi Mark,
You can use an OGR connection for formatting of number fields when labelling in
MapServer version 5.x. I think you need GDAL 1.6 or later.
For example with a shapefile called test.shp with a field, testfld1, you can do
the following to show only two decimal places.
LAYER
..
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "test.shp"
DATA "select CAST(testfld1 AS numeric (4,2)) from test"
..
CLASS
...
TEXT ([testfld1)]
LABEL
..
END
END
END
Regards,
Kathleen

Subject: [mapserver-users] display labels as an integer instead of scientific
notations.
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
Thanks
Mark
