Hi Pedro, Steve,

I was quiet on answering because I'm just not sure how common this use case is.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much!

Do you think it would be a good improvement to GRIDs? Should we open a
feature request?

Best regards,
Pedro

    Hi Pedro,

    Actually I tried yesterday with that same world countries mapfile
    that was used in the map images for the examples in the
    documentation, and I was unsuccessful for your exact requirements.
    (but I did notice a mistake on that documentation page and fixed it
    yesterday!)  So your question helped improve the documentation, but
    I am sorry to report that I don't believe it is possible with MapServer.

        Hi Carlos,

        Using C-style formatting string, I can only use %g, %f, etc.,
        but it is
        applied to Degrees component.

        What I need is something like "%gº %3.2f", in whitch %gº is for the
        Degrees, and %3.2f for the decimal Minutes.

        Unfortunately, LABELFORMAT "DDMM" gives only the integer part of
        Degrees
        and Minutes.

        Thank you very much.

        Best regards,
        Pedro

            Well, current Mapserver documentation guide says the following:

            LABELFORMAT [DD|DDMM|DDMMSS|C format string]

                Format of the label. “DD” for degrees, “DDMM” for degrees
                minutes, and “DDMMSS” for degrees, minutes, seconds. *A
        C-style
                formatting string is also allowed, such as “%g°” to show
        decimal
                degrees with a degree symbol. The default is decimal
        display of
                whatever SRS you’re rendering the GRID with.*

            This sounds like that is what you are looking for.

            Cheers

            minutes format

            Hi all,

            I would like to use a GRID [0], but in degrees decimal minutes
            LABELFORMAT. Something like:
            40 46.817 -7 4.327

            Is this somehow possible in actual Mapserver version?

            Thank you very much!

            Best regards,
            Pedro Venâncio
