Re: [mapserver-users] Outline on the roads label boxes
Hi, You can use an annotation layer with a symbol. Something like: LAYER NAME labels TYPE ANNOTATION DATA /your/data/path/ STATUS ON LABELITEM RD_NUM CLASS NAME road_numbers STYLE SYMBOL 'rectangle' COLOR 255 255 255 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 SIZE 16 END LABEL TYPE TRUETYPE ANTIALIAS TRUE FONT myfont SIZE 8 POSITION CC COLOR 0 0 0 PARTIALS FALSE END END END and the symbol would be something like: SYMBOL NAME 'rectangle' TYPE VECTOR POINTS 0 0 0 14 25 14 25 0 0 0 END FILLED TRUE END Regards, -- Christy Nieman GIS Technician DM Solutions Group, Inc.

Re: [mapserver-users] Outline on the roads label boxes
You can however, develop separate classes based on label length. You'd have
different
symbols to handle wide text vs. narrow. For example:
LABELITEM 'myitem'
CLASS
EXPRESSION (length('[myitem]') 5) # use a really wide shield
STYLE
SYMBOL 'reallywideshield'
...
END
END
CLASS
EXPRESSION (length('[myitem]') 3) # use a wide marker
STYLE
SYMBOL 'wideshield'
...
END
END
CLASS # default to a regular shield
STYLE
SYMBOL 'shield'
...
END
END

Re: [mapserver-users] Outline on the roads label boxes
The label background is getting quite cluttered actually, we have
backgroundcolor, backgroundshadowcolor, backgroundshadowsize, and
maybe a couple of others I'm forgetting.
maybe we could add something equivalent to backgroundstyle that would
have the same syntax as a class STYLE, that would then be passed on as
a normal style to msDrawShadeSymbol, along with the shapeobj
corresponding to the background shade.
we'd then have all the goodness of mapserver styles: outlines,
symbols, opacity, etc...
just a thought,

I've done it with several rectangle symbols.
Thank you all for the quick answers! :)
