[mapserver-users] LABEL-formatting options

[Stephan Holl]

Hello mapservers,

we are using MapServer for visualizing shapefiles with double entries
inside.

Mainly this are contour-lines from waterdepth. The double values have
32 decimal places and mapserver tries to render them _all_ along a
contourline.
This does not look nice...

Is there an option to trim the values with a dedicated
mapfile-parameter, e.g. where a prinft-syntax can be used to format the
values?

The shapefiles are generated automatically so adding another column with
trunc()ed or round()ed values is no option.

Are there any options to format label-values/strings? I have not found
anything in the docs.

TIA

	Stephan
