[Geomoose-users] [Geomoose-developers] Labeling

[Dan Little]

Jay,

ANGLE [Angle]

Needs to be *inside* of the LABEL ... END tags.

Also, you might need to use the all upper case version of "ANGLE"... IE

LAYER
   CLASS
      LABEL
          ANGLE [ANGLE]
      END
   END
END

Sorry bout that…Just wanted to
explain the process I did to get to the final Shapefile being used for
labeling…just in case there was something I did that is causing the error…
 
I tried ANGLEITEM….then went
here and used 
 
ANGLE [double|auto|follow|attribute]
 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/label
 
No luck either way….there has to
be something that I am doing wrong…I my “Angle“ field is Double and I have
values from 0 to 360
 
Thoughts?

Hey
Jay,

This is a repeatish post, but try looking up "ANGLEITEM"

IIRC, it's ANGLEITEM fieldname

What I am trying to do is use
annotation from a Geodatabase.  From what I hear GeoMoose / Map Server
will not read it.
 
I converted the Annotation Feature
Class to a Point.
Then created a Polygon from the
Annotation Feature Classes, pointing to the Point Feature class for the
Attributes (label field, degree field)
 
I then read the Polygons into
GeoMoose and label on the field and Angle the text by “Angle’ Field.
 
The ANGLE call to Map Server
dosent seem to work in this case
 
Any thoughts?

I have also tried Angle [Angle]
where “Angle” is the field name that holds the Degrees (ex 270)…still errors
out
 
Thoughts?
 
Can I even do what I am trying
to do?

I have been successful labeling street centerlines using the
ANGLE FOLLOW in the .map File

This is being performed on a Shapefile Line feature
 
I also have a Polygon Feature that has a field that I am
trying to label….once again I need the text to follow the polygon 
As you can see from the image the road names a following
properly, but the labels for the polygons are not following…
I tried the ANGLE FOLLOW on the Polygon and It will not
draw..
 
Is there some other syntax that I have to put in the map
file that will force the text to follow the Polygon?
 
THANKS
