All,
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">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.

<div class="">Here is an image and screenshot of the final product. All Mapserver, and only Mapserver (oh, and PostGIS too.):</div>

<div class="">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.</div>

<div class="">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.</div>

<div class="">Thanks for the help on this.</div>

<div class="">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? </div>
