[Geomoose-users] Want to label predefined text before field attribute

[Jim Dahl]

Brent, there are probably many ways to construct the map file for
labels, the way I have it appears to work!
 
THANKS!

LAYER # Parcels Label Layer
    NAME parcellabels
    DATA parcels
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    LABELCACHE on
#    LABELITEM 'TORRENS'
#    TEXT (T-[TORRENS])
    MAXSCALE 30000
    LABELMAXSCALE 20000
 
    CLASS
    TEXT (T-[TORRENS])
    EXPRESSION ([TORRENS] > 0)
      LABEL
       OFFSET 0 10
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        FONT arial
#       ANGLE FIELDNAME      
 ANGLE FOLLOW  
# ANGLEITEM FIELDNAME
        MINSIZE 6
        SIZE 12
        MAXSIZE 20
        POSITION CC
        ANTIALIAS TRUE
        COLOR 0 0 0
        OUTLINECOLOR 254 254 254
        BUFFER 2
        MINFEATURESIZE AUTO
        PARTIALS FALSE
      END
    END
  END # Parcels Label Layer

	Jim,
	
	  Try using
	
	TEXT (T-[my_field])
	
	inside the CLASS object (instead of the LABEL object's
LABELITEM)  in your mapserver map file.
	
	Best Regards,
	Brent Fraser

		I have a shape file with a field that I am labeling on.
It is numeric and I would like to add a letter in front of it.  I want
to put letter T- in front of the data 1234.  How can I do this?
