<br>
I'm inputting lots of street address points in PostGIS, and try to
generate labels for the streets. The convex hull of the points of
a street approximate the course of the street, and I would like to
position the streetname in the middle of the convex hull polygon,
aligned to its dominant angle (the polygons are generally quite
narrow). Is there a way of doing this with MapServer? Perhaps by
thinning out the polygon to a line, for then I can use "angle
follow".<br>
