[mapserver-users] Label formatting on GRID

[thomas bonfort]

There is no such support that I know of in mapserver.
Your first use-case could be implemented by extending the grid labelling
function to get it's text from a mapserver expression, and extending the
expression syntax to include integer division and modulo operators.
Your second use-case is more involved and would require multiple label
blocks along with the aforementioned enhancements.

Both cases are not trivial and would require funding.

thomas
