<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been wanting to build a HUD display sort of thing like this for quite a while, thankfully a project came along to let me do it. I think I’ll have a bunch more similar work come in after some other folks see this in operation. I’m
to a point of sitting back and watching it be used now. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The bottom boxes are actually Labels generated from a SQL ARRAY output from PostGIS. All relational work for the Parcel Edges to Street/Alley Centerlines also built entirely inside of PostGIS/Postgres. Worked really well as a matter of
fact. The new Materialized view stuff in Postgres was invaluable. I still have some stuff to do with Condos, some of them are stacked on top of each other which presents some problems, but I think I have that figured out now.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can send the MAPFILE to anyone interested. I need to santize it first though. there were some definte gotchas in this mapfile, namely, the effects of the GEOTRANFORM on other mapfile things needs a bit more documentation I think.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">P.S. I had a thought about stacking the Labels along the bottom, but justified to a corner, problem is, they are all variable width/height, if they are cached is there a way to squish them all into a corner along an edge somehow, either
vertically or horizontally? <o:p></o:p></p>
