[mapserver-users] STYLEITEM AUTO and LABEL ENCODING can't exist simultaneously??

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

It seems that you have done a good work by studying the situation yourself and it looks like combination “styleitem auto” and “encoding GB18030” does not work in your environment. However, it is unlikely that you will get any better answer that this one I am writing because you are using version 5.2.1 which was released 2008-12-08.  There can’t be many users worldwide who are using that old version, Chinase character set, and data from MapInfo TAB.

I suggest you to update to version 6.5-dev or at least 6.4.1 and repeat your test. If it still fails, prepare a test package with a small sample of MapInfo data and a minimal but complete mapfile so other users and developers can reproduce the issue.

Hi All,

Is there any method that I can both set 'STYLEITEM AUTO', and also set ENCODING GB18030?  NOTE: my mapserv is V5.2.1.

[PROBLEM]:
I am now using mapinfo tab files as my map data. 
Labels in the mapinfo files are in Chinese. In order to support styles within mapinfo, I use 'STYLEITEM AUTO'. 
Then style are displayed well, however, Chinese characters are not displayed properly.

[PROBLEM DESCRIPTION]:
• Mapserver version: 5.2.1.
MapServer version 5.2.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF
 OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICO
NV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUP
PORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS SUPPORTS=RGBA_PNG INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR
 INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
• ogrinfo of tab file:
OGRFeature(2000_BJ10):4
  blank (String) = 
  Style = LABEL(t:"育",a:0.000000,s:1.380000g,c:#000000,p:1,f:"")
  POINT (1017054046.578231 612967797.60216415)

[CONFUSING]:
• When I use STYLEITEM AUTO, I can't set 'ENCODING GB18030' for LABEL. 
• If not using STYLEITEM AUTO, I can't set LABELITEM, because the chinese character is within Style=LABEL(t:"Chinese character"....).
Method I also tried includes:
• Change mapfile encoding from ANSI to UTF-8
• Change MIF/MID encoding from ANSI to UTF-8, or even to BIG5.
So, is there any method that I can both set 'STYLEITEM AUTO', and also set ENCODING GB18030?  NOTE: my mapserv is V5.2.1.

[MORE INFORMATION]:
I also have another mapinfo tab file, whose data is like this:
ENAME2000: String (50.0)
OGRFeature(省界):1
  NAME (String) = 北京市
  AREA (Real) =             1.733
  PERIMETER (Real) =             8.498
  省界_ (Real) =           9
  省界_ID (Real) =          11
  CODE2000 (Real) = 110000
  ENAME2000 (String) = Beijing Municipality
  Style = BRUSH(fc:#f0f0f0,bc:#ffffff,id:"mapinfo-brush-2.ogr-brush-0");PEN(w:1p
x,c:#d0d0d0,id:"mapinfo-pen-2.ogr-pen-0")
In this situation, I can use one layer with 'STYLEITEM AUTO' to display styles, and another layer with 'LABELITEM NAME' and LABEL ... END to display Labels, without any problem. Mapfile is as follow:
                    LAYER

                    END

As you can see the difference between the two kinds of tab file, 
• one set chinese character in to LABEL(t:'') field, in which I not know how to both set STYLEITEM AUTO and set ENCODING to LABEL.
• the other set Chinese character to the NAME field, in which I can set one layer with STYLEITEM AUTO, and another layer with LABELITEM.
Can anyone solve the problem I described in this post?
Waiting for your reply. Thanks very much.
