Annotate streets

[Stephen Lime]

Depends what you mean by success. Do you have examples of where the
current algorithmn breaks down? Street annotation is based on what's visible,
so if on a portion of a street is on the map the only that portion is used to place
labels and compute angles. Not sure what else would make sense.

Hi,
Has anyone succeeded in annotating streets? I mean, put labels on a map
that follow the general direction of the street. I know I can use
angleitem, and calculate an angle in advance, but this won't work for
complex streets that are only partially on the map. Can it be done with
mapscript?
Thanks,

Berend
