Hello, I am trying to work out how to include labels for features in the METADATA for any given layer in a Mapfile. The output formats I wish to use do not support labels in the output files (SWF and SVG). I have been told that the labels can be specified in the Mapfile METADATA, but I do not know how one goes about telling Mapserver to put the label data there. Furthermore, I do not know how I would access it once it's there, nor do I know how to specify in METADATA where specific labels should be placed and what rotation angle to use. Is any of this possible? If so, does anyone have information (sample Mapfile for example) that they would be willing to provide? Once I know how to instruct Mapserver to put the labels in the METADATA, I can go about figuring out how to pull it back out in my client side application.
Thanks very much for any assistance you can provide. Kenton Williams Graduate Research Assistant Maine Image Analysis Lab University of Maine
