RE: [mapserver-users] Labeling behavior at the edge of image
MINFEATURESIZE is used only for labeling and makes sense when a polygons are clipped. It allows you avoid labeling slivers.

I've definitely try label_no_clip out. However, I don't think the MINFEATURESIZE if for me. The polygon as a whole is big enough for labeling, the problem is just that it's sliced into two parts. Having a min size limit on it may render the label gone at the edge, which is not the desire result.

You can use the label_no_clip (I think that's right) PROCESSING parameter to force label position to be computed on the untransformed geometry. This results in a stable position regardless of scale or map extent. You can also use the label parameter MINFEATURESIZE to limit the size of the features being labeled.

[mapserver-users] Labeling problem
Hi, I have a problem labeling in true type.
This is an extract from my WORKING mapfile, using TYPE BITMAP. If I
substitute TYPE BITMAP with TYPE truetype, It still works, but no label is
shown..
Any idea?
thanks,

Hi, I think I found the cause. When declaring ANGLE AUTO, then MINFEATURESIZE auto was working. But with ANGLE FOLLOW there was a problem displaying labels. Could it be considered as a bug?

RE: [mapserver-users] Labeling
The decimal truncation simply can't be done with a shapefile at the moment. There's a ticket in place to add this functionality but it will be a 6.0 improvement. Wish I have better news. One the other question you can use the class TEXT property along with a wrap character to achieve the multiline labels. E.g.: CLASS ... TEXT [col1]|[col2]|[col3] LABEL ... WRAP | END END and that should get you a multi-line label based on 3 attributes.

I want to read this data live. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks One Last thought, don't know if I should enter a new topic... I have three labels I want to label. Right now I am using an Offset to push one above, and one below (UC, CC, LC) with offsets. And as such these are three separate layers in my app I tried to combine all three into one map file but it only labels the first one (I copied the original code in the original email and simply changed the label field)(no matter what I do it just labels the first one it reads) Can I combine these into one and still have them label on three different rows Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Can I concatenate like this? LABELITEM 'Value 1' 'VALUE 2' 'VALUE 3' But how would I specify they are supposed to create 3 lines???

[MAPSERVER-USERS] Labeling Road
Hi List, I am newbie to this forum stuck in a problem. Hope to get help from this forum. I want to show labels on the road along with road directions fortunately I have successfully implemented it, but at some places on the road the label is not getting displayed on the road. It comes above the road or at road boundary, not in between the road boundary. If someone has any idea, then please share with me. Thanks in advance. Yours suggestions will be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Labeling-Road-tp18192553p18192553.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
