Hello Valerio,

Take a look at the LABELANGLEITEM setting in the LAYER item.
The item is the column with the angle in degrees.

For example

LAYER.....
LABELANGLEITEM "DEGREES"
CLASS
....
LABEL
......
END
.....
END

  Hello,
  is it possible to rotate labels of a point shapefile depending on a database field which contains angle value?

  Thanks
