[mapserver-users] Line labeling

[Alexander Pucher]

Hi,

in one of our mapserver-applications, we tried to label line objects of 
a city map - no problem. We use a truetype font, autorotate and a 
minFeatureSize. The problem is, that the line segments of main streets 
between 2 side streets are often too short, so the main street is not 
labeled at all. Small side streets, which are longer than minFeatureSize 
get labeled!

Any idea, how we get the streets labeled in a correct way, let's say by 
importance??
