[mapserver-users] Map file, Label WRAP Function in mapbook removes character it is wrapping on.

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Carrie,

Where is the data being sourced from?  DB or SHP file or ??

There are some substitution tricks for SQL that might help out with this.  I’m pretty sure I can write a Postgres query to add a character after each period for use in the wrapping process for example.

Hello – I’m working on updating my .MAP Documents to Mapserver 7.0.1.

I’m trying to get the labels in my Parcel Layer to wrap on the decimal point (example 002.001.001.01.010) to make for a better a fit.  I’m using the WRAP function, which works wonderfully , except it removes the character I am wrapping on.  In this case, the point (.) In my parcel numbers.

Each of the numbers should have a decimal between it.   Any idea of how to get the line to wrap on a character, but also keep it in the displayed label?  The MAXLENGTH works well too, but still removes all decimal points.

I’m using Mapserver 7.0.1 with GeoMoose 2.9

Thank You – Carrie Quast, Brown County MN GIS Specialist
