[Geomoose-users] Curved labels and libgd or gd.

[FRANZ OKYERE]

Yes Brent Here is portion of my map file that is supposed to do the lines and the labels. The shapefile is of a line type. 

  LAYER
    NAME 'demoroads2'
    TYPE LINE
    DATA 'C:\ms4w\apps\geomoose2\maps\demo\countydata\demoroads.shp'
    METADATA
      'wms_title' 'demoroads'
    END
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TRANSPARENCY 100
    PROJECTION
    'proj=longlat'
    'ellps=WGS84'
    'datum=WGS84'
    'no_defs'
    END
CLASS
  EXPRESSION ('[ROADCLASS]' eq 'C')
  
  STYLE
    COLOR 255 0 0
    SYMBOL 'plainline'
    SIZE 2
    MINSIZE 1
    MAXSIZE 4
  END 

  
END
END


#and then I use an annotation layer to add the labels

        LAYER # Road layer
        NAME road_labels
        DATA 'C:\ms4w\apps\geomoose2\maps\demo\countydata\demoroads.shp'
        STATUS ON
        TYPE annotation
        MAXSCALEDENOM 2834
        MINSCALEDENOM 1400
        LABELITEM 'ROAD_NAME'
        LABELCACHE ON

        CLASS
        LABEL       
       
        COLOR 144 250 0
         
        BUFFER 4
        ANGLE AUTO
       END
         END   
END  # End of Road layer

Now,
the above works fine and shows the lines and labels but once I add
ANGLE FOLLOW and/or TYPE TRUETYPE everything disappears. So what can I
do to see the labels whowing and following the line direction?

Cheers.
