Hey,<br><br>is it possible that the reason why this feature is not implemented in Mapserver is cause it demands too much computation resource and Mapserver assumes that those kind of issues will be dealt before... modifying data structure maybe?<br>
Deleting all the duplicate address points for each building complex and leaving only one (I do not prefer that)? <br><br>Cause for me it seems quite a common problem one should face in case he needs to display building numbers. <br>
Since there could be many buildings closely together at the crossings of the streets, I seek some way to display them decently -<br>ie. showing label ("2") for buildings that are located at the street "Mündi" and other label "2" for buildings at the street "Saiakangi"<br>
so that Mapserver does not "see" the labels being identical. <br><br><br>Still full of hope,<br>Raivo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 1:33 PM, Raivo Alla <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:snaperski@gmail.com">snaperski@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I got three different streets that have same label "2", and I would like to display the labels so that for the same street address points<br>
I could use declaration like MINDISTANCE 40, but if the same label "2" appears on the address point that belongs to other street, then <br>it will not use MINDISTANCE and should display that label.<br><br>I have shapefile, whre one attribute "REFERENCEPOINT" holds the same numerical value for the same address points (ie those<br>
points which have label "2" on the screenshot and belong to the same street have same "REFERENCEPOINT" value). Can I<br>somehow use it to render them differently? <br><br>I hope I expressed myself correctly :)<br>

</div><div><div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Hello!<br><br>I am using MapServer 5.4 and right now I'm facing with label positioning problem. <br>Any help solving that would really be appreciated.<br>
<br>1. I have lots of buildings address points... so for example if two nearby located buildings at the crossing of "Some_street" and "Some_other_street"<br>have both same house numbers (for example "1") then the MINDISTANCE 30 declaration will cancel one label out.<br>
2. I cannot remove MINDISTANCE neither since in many cases I have large building complexes where multiple buildings share same address label.<br>And I want mapfile to declare some distance between those addresses that logically will mark the same address object. <br>
3. In my buildings_addresses (points) file I do have attribute, which I could use to separate those two kinds of duplicate labels,<br>but MapServer doent seem to support rendering them differently in a such way.... Or am I wrong?<br>
<br><br>My LABEL definition:<br> LABEL<br> TYPE truetype<br> ANTIALIAS true<br> FONT "arial"<br> COLOR 50 50 50<br> SIZE 9<br>
priority 1<br> ANGLE [POORDENURK]<br> MINDISTANCE 30<br> OUTLINECOLOR 220 220 220<br> POSITION cc<br> BUFFER 2<br> END<br>
