[mapserver-users] symbol of the streets

[Michel M. dos Santos]

	Thanks a lot Frank, 

	See:

	http://creedence.org/imagens/demo2.png  (now, done by mapserver)

	my mapfile:        
 
        CLASS
            COLOR 0 0 0
            LABEL
                ANGLE AUTO
                COLOR 0 0 0
                FONT "verdana"
                MINDISTANCE 300
                PARTIALS FALSE
                SIZE 11
                TYPE TRUETYPE
            END
            NAME "ruas"
            SIZE 15
            SYMBOL "circle"
            TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
            TEXT ([TIPO] [NOME])
            OVERLAYSYMBOL "circle"
            OVERLAYCOLOR 239 255 214
            OVERLAYSIZE 13
        END

	my symbolset

	 SYMBOL # standard circular brush
    	   NAME 'circle'
    	   TYPE  ELLIPSE
    	   POINTS 1 1 END
    	   FILLED TRUE
  	END

	Only more one question: 

	The labels of the streets sometimes not follow the symbol exactly . Example 
in my image:
	R FRANCISO FERREIRA DE SOUZA
	R FREDERICO MAURER
	R ANTONIO RICARDO DOS SANTOS

	Is there some way to improve it ? Is my data bank the problem ?
