[Geomoose-users] Re: Making Label and Circle using Feature editor (geomoose 2.4)

[Brent Fraser]

Rommy,

   You can label the polygons by specifying one of the layer's fields in 
the mapfile as the LABELITEM.  Have a look at the mapfiles in the demo 
dataset or look at the mapfile doc on the Mapserver site.

     Geomoose has no support for drawing circles; you would have to add 
your own code to do that.  Geomoose uses OpenLayers to supply functions 
for allowing users to interactively place feature geometry (points, 
lines, and polygons) so you could start there.  You would have to decide 
how to store the representation of the circle (e.g. point+radius or 
polygon) so you may want to investigate how (or if) PostGIS stores 
circles.  And I don't know how much support Mapserver has for rendering 
circle features...

   While circular arcs are common in property (cadastral surveying) 
databases in Canada and the U.S., they are not commonly supported 
directly in generic GIS databases.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
