Hi all, i would like to check what is the situation of labelling and how =
it will work in the next releases, asking the interventions of the =
developers and other users.
Starting from my need to have an alignment option when I label and wrap =
a text, after having already discussed this subject in the mailing list =
it seems that there's no better way to do this than doing two different =
declarations for the same class in the Mapfile, that's not really the =
best solution.
I just checked Bugzilla and I didn't see any request of enhancement to =
do this so I have to assume that this funcionality won't be available in =
the next releases, am I right?
I also saw that there are requests about implementing the spline =
labelling, and the formatting of numbers.
I would like the developers to focus about the labelling funcionalities =
that will be available in the next versions, if possible.
thanx
