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

[Mark Volz]

Carrie,

Our trick is to wrap on a character that you would otherwise not normally see in the string.

LAYER
	....
	CLASS 
		TEXT ([LastName] * [PIN])  #overrides LABELITEM
		.....
		LABEL
			WRAP "*"
		END #Parcel Label
	END #Parcel Class
END #Parcel Layer


Sincerely,
Mark Volz, GISP

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
