I understand where I was wrong: 1 - I missed to delcare the fontset used that in my case is: FONTSET c:\Windows\Fonts\font.list This has to be defined at MAP level 2 - the file font.list is the same as in http://mapserver.org/mapfile/fontset.html Specifiing the fonts that WindowsXP has installed, and specifiing the right path it works fine! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Labeling-problem-tp4798590p4808835.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

Re: [mapserver-users] RE: Labeling
From your example I can see that your ANGLE parameter is in the wrong object it should be in the label object to rotate the text. As is you should be throwing parsing errors. the item storing the angle need not be numeric although the values must represent numbers upon conversion. Steve Jay Kapalczynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/06/08 2:15 AM What I am trying to do is use annotation from a Geodatabase. From what I hear GeoMoose / Map Server will not read it. I converted the Annotation Feature Class to a Point. Then created a Polygon from the Annotation Feature Classes, pointing to the Point Feature class for the Attributes (label field, degree field) I then read the Polygons into GeoMoose and label on the field and Angle the text by Angle' Field. The ANGLE call to Map Server dosent seem to work in this case Any thoughts? From: Jay Kapalczynski Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 2:48 PM To: 'mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org' Subject: Labeling Don't know if I have to correct location. I have been successful labeling street centerlines using the ANGLE FOLLOW in the .map File This is being performed on a Shapefile Line feature I also have a Polygon Feature that has a field that I am trying to labelonce again I need the text to follow the polygon As you can see from the image the road names a following properly, but the labels for the polygons are not following... I tried the ANGLE FOLLOW on the Polygon and It will not draw.. I tried ANGLE [Angle] with Angle being a field name that holds Degree values (ex 270) does the field have to be numeric? Is there some other syntax that I have to put in the map file that will force the text to follow the Polygon?

RE: [mapserver-users] RE: Labeling
That was itmoved the lines inside the LABEL CLASS Credit due to the GeoMoose Forum...(Dan) But I do thank you all for your help...it is very appreciated. Especially for Green coders like myself... Thanks again Steve for your response CLASS LABEL PUT LINES HERE END END -Original Message- From: Steve Lime [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 9:42 AM To: Jay Kapalczynski; mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] RE: Labeling From your example I can see that your ANGLE parameter is in the wrong object it should be in the label object to rotate the text. As is you should be throwing parsing errors. the item storing the angle need not be numeric although the values must represent numbers upon conversion. Steve Jay Kapalczynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/06/08 2:15 AM What I am trying to do is use annotation from a Geodatabase. From what I hear GeoMoose / Map Server will not read it. I converted the Annotation Feature Class to a Point. Then created a Polygon from the Annotation Feature Classes, pointing to the Point Feature class for the Attributes (label field, degree field) I then read the Polygons into GeoMoose and label on the field and Angle the text by Angle' Field. The ANGLE call to Map Server dosent seem to work in this case Any thoughts?

I have been successful labeling street centerlines using the ANGLE FOLLOW in the .map File This is being performed on a Shapefile Line feature I also have a Polygon Feature that has a field that I am trying to labelonce again I need the text to follow the polygon As you can see from the image the road names a following properly, but the labels for the polygons are not following...
