[mapserver-users] RE: Labeling issue mutli lines and precision

In response to Jay's Labeling question:


I have multi line / field labels working:

In this example I am stringing together both the name and the parcel id as a
label, then splitting the label into two lines

CLASS
	NAME 'Parcels'
	TEXT ([TXLname] * [PARCEL_ID])  #label
	LABEL
		WRAP "*" #select character to wrap on
	END #label
END #class

I tried using precision in the query results, I have not tried it as part of
a label

[item name="NORTHING" precision=2]

Yea I can do that but then I have to build processes to do all the
converting...
I want to read this data live.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

One Last thought, don't know if I should enter a new topic...

I have three labels I want to label.  Right now I am using an Offset to push
one above, and one below (UC, CC, LC) with offsets.
And as such these are three separate layers in my app
I tried to combine all three into one map file but it only labels the first
one (I copied the original code in the original email and simply changed the
label field)(no matter what I do it just labels the first one it reads)

Can I combine these into one and still have them label on three different
rows

Value 1
Value 2
Value 3

Can I concatenate like this?

LABELITEM  'Value 1' & 'VALUE 2' & 'VALUE 3'

But how would I specify they are supposed to create 3 lines???

THANKS

It is always an option to create a string column and then populate it with
your numbers formatted the way that you want them to appear.  I am sure that
you realize this, but it is something that I have done in the past.

Is there any way to eliminate the decimal places here...I looked online but
was unable to find anything.

Thanks

The fields I am labeling are numeric...so I get this

3434.000000000000
1232222.000000000000

I am looking to drop all the extra decimal places...

Or maybe set it to keep two

3434.00

THANKS
