Hello,
I am working on some street labels.
I imagined the ANGLE AUTO would give me the results I wanted ( Names =
aligned legibly along the street ), but I could not get it to work.
I have generated some images and made them available to the web.
The first is what I want:
http://216.220.241.10/demo1.jpg

The second is what I get from MN MapServer:
http://216.220.241.10/demo2.png

Is there a way to get the result I want?
How do others handle street labels with these angles?
In the MN MapServer image ( demo2.png ), it seems the letters are placed =
individually; not as a word.
Any incite or help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Shannon
