Hello, Thank you everyone for your help. I was able to get road shields to display. I do have a couple follow up questions:
First, In the legend, the shield covers up the US Highway line. Is there a way to remove the shield from the legend, or make it the shield smaller on the legend than it is on the map? Second, I would like the roads to be labeled several times alternating between the street name and road shield. For example, the road shield should be placed at positions 0, 500, 1000 and the road name should be placed at positions 250, 750, 1250. I know that I could use REPEATDISTANCE to repeat the labels every 500 pixels, but is there something similar to INITIALGAP that will place the road name at an 250 pixel offset along the line? I should mention that I was able to cheat by text every 250 pixels, and the shield every 500 pixels. This works because the text does not draw at positions 0, 500, 1000 because of the label conflict with the road shield, however I was wondering if there is a cleaner way to alternate labels between the street name and road shield.

I use this to do shields on county roads: CLASS NAME 'County Road' STYLE COLOR 255 255 255 WIDTH 1 MAXWIDTH 1.5 MINWIDTH .75 OUTLINECOLOR 200 200 200 OUTLINEWIDTH 1 END LABEL STYLE # shield SYMBOL 'county_road' COLOR 255 255 255 OUTLINECOLOR 146 146 146 SIZE 13 MINSIZE 13 MAXSIZE 13 WIDTH .5 MINWIDTH .5 MAXWIDTH .5 END PRIORITY 1 TYPE TRUETYPE FONT 'myriad_condensed_web' SIZE 5 MINSIZE 5 MAXSIZE 5 COLOR 146 146 146 MINDISTANCE 150 ANTIALIAS TRUE PARTIALS FALSE MINFEATURESIZE 20 END END Where county_road is referencing a true type font glyph. I'm actually doing some other conversions to remove dependency on ANNOTATION layers and haven't run into any problems yet. Perhaps the problem isn't with the style placement in the label but rather the contents of the style. You'd get a parse error otherwise.

I was under the impression that STYLE could be within a LABEL object because since Mapserver 6.2 we could have multiple labels per class. Anyways, how can I add road shields in Mapserver 7? Apparently annotation layers have been removed. Thanks!

You could put it after the LABEL... ________________________________ From: "Mark Volz" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2017 12:32 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] Road shields on Mapserver 7 Brent, I am using Mapserver 7.0.4.

The label (and for that matter the entire class) quits drawing as soon as I uncomment the STYLE block under label. Please let me know What I can do to add road shields to my roads layer. CLASS NAME "U.S. Highway" EXPRESSION "A10" STYLE WIDTH 5 COLOR 0 0 0 END #STYLE STYLE WIDTH 3 COLOR 227 159 2 END #STYLE LABEL TEXT '[ROADNUM]' SIZE 10 #for AGG FONT vera_sans #for AGG MINFEATURESIZE 25 MINDISTANCE 200 #STYLE ### Mapserver quits drawing this layer as soon as I uncomment this block #SYMBOL './symbols/USHWY.png' #END STYLE END #label END #class P.S. Eventually I will want to display both the road number shield and the road name as well. Thank You Sincerely, Mark Volz, GISP
