[mapserver-users] Aligning labels within a polygon

[Jan Hartmann]

Hi,

I'm inputting lots of street address points in PostGIS, and try to 
generate labels for the streets. The convex hull of the points of a 
street approximate the course of the street, and I would like to 
position the streetname in the middle of the convex hull polygon, 
aligned to its dominant angle (the polygons are generally quite narrow). 
Is there a way of doing this with MapServer? Perhaps by thinning out the 
polygon to a line, for then I can use "angle follow".
