[mapserver-users] labeling streets

[Raivo Alla]

Thank You,

so it should be, but somehow in my case it does not work properly.
When i have no declaration of MINFEATURESIZE, then the picture looks fine:

But when I add MINFEATURESIZE AUTO, most labels just disappear, even
if they have enough space to fit in:

And those labeled straight streets contain only one feature (line
feature) each - so the label should fit in decently.

Label is declared this way:
		LABEL
			TYPE truetype
			ANTIALIAS true
			FONT "arial"
			COLOR 240 240 240
			OUTLINECOLOR 52 52 52
			SIZE 9
			force false
			MINDISTANCE 250
			MINFEATURESIZE auto
			ANGLE follow
			POSITION cc
			BUFFER 1
		END

Changing FORCE or POSITION parameters didnt help either....
