Yes Brent Here is portion of my map file that is supposed to do the lines and the labels. The shapefile is of a line type. <br><br> LAYER<br> NAME 'demoroads2'<br> TYPE LINE<br> DATA 'C:\ms4w\apps\geomoose2\maps\demo\countydata\demoroads.shp'<br> METADATA<br> 'wms_title' 'demoroads'<br> END<br> STATUS DEFAULT<br> TRANSPARENCY 100<br> PROJECTION<br> 'proj=longlat'<br> 'ellps=WGS84'<br> 'datum=WGS84'<br> 'no_defs'<br> END<br>CLASS<br> EXPRESSION ('[ROADCLASS]' eq 'C')<br> <br> STYLE<br> COLOR 255 0 0<br> SYMBOL 'plainline'<br> SIZE 2<br> MINSIZE 1<br> MAXSIZE 4<br> END <br><br> <br>END<br>END<br><br><br>#and then I use an annotation layer to add the labels<br><br> LAYER # Road layer<br> NAME road_labels<br> DATA 'C:\ms4w\apps\geomoose2\maps\demo\countydata\demoroads.shp'<br> STATUS ON<br> TYPE annotation<br> MAXSCALEDENOM 2834<br> MINSCALEDENOM 1400<br> LABELITEM 'ROAD_NAME'<br> LABELCACHE ON<br><br> CLASS<br> LABEL <br> <br> COLOR 144 250 0<br> <br> BUFFER 4<br> ANGLE AUTO<br> END<br> END <br>END # End of Road layer<br><br>Now,
the above works fine and shows the lines and labels but once I add
ANGLE FOLLOW and/or TYPE TRUETYPE everything disappears. So what can I
do to see the labels whowing and following the line direction?<br><br>Cheers.<br><br>Franz Okyere.<br> GIS Specialist<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>> Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:36:55 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [Geomoose-users] Curved labels and libgd or gd.<br>> From: bfraser@geoanalytic.com<br>> To: franzzoa@hotmail.com<br>> CC: geomoose-users@lists.sourceforge.net<br>> <br>> libgd is not important to ANGLE FOLLOW (at least not that I'm aware of). <br>> Are your labels using a TrueType font (not bitmapped)?
