Re: [mapserver-users] connect label to features
All, My original need for the label lines was for labeling point clusters, I wanted to see a label for each point. Having said that I understand the reasoning behind the logic we're seeing. I would suggest that along with "FORCE TRUE" that some sort of related min-distance (MINLEADERDISTANCE?) type of variable be added directly related to leader lines and when they come on/off by scale, or MINDISTANCE working inside s separate STYLE block (Does it work that way now?) for Leader lines. I think multiple STYLE blocks came after LEADERs . . . . bobb On 6/25/21, 8:28 AM, "mapserver-users on behalf of Jeff McKenna" wrote: Think Before You Click: This email originated outside our organization. Hi Luca, The implemented leader label logic does not turn on leader lines for every point or feature. (I believe this is what is causing the confusion, as reported by you and Bob) I personally could see a new parameter in the LEADER object of "FORCE TRUE" being very useful, but that would take a champion to file a new ticket (https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues), create a small test case (use yours, but also include the symbolset and fonts that your mapfile references, so a developer can just execute shp2img out-of-the-box), and then nudge/test/give feedback throughout the whole development process. Hope that explains more what is happening. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna GatewayGeo: Developers of MS4W, MapServer Consulting and Training co-founder of FOSS4G http://gatewaygeo.com/ On 2021-06-25 9:21 a.m., Jeff McKenna wrote: > Hi Luca, > > I was able to get leader lines with your data by just commented out your > MINDISTANCE parameter in your LABEL.

Hi Luca, I was able to get leader lines with your data by just commented out your MINDISTANCE parameter in your LABEL. Here is the resulting map image: https://pasteboard.co/K8eUIip.png Hope that helps.

I can now see Thomas' point, that this is a documentation issue (likely when I originally documented this I could only get it to work with polygons, but now when I test I can get points,lines,polygons to work by adapting that same mapfile). Thanks a lot, I tried again changing some parameters but I didn't get any leader lines. I'm using mapserver 7.6.2 provided by Debian I'll fix that document now. If you post your mapfile and data I can test your data locally here. here you are an example not working for me, with my output png -jeff ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
