[Mapserver-users] My first label configuration (with angles)

[Ryan, Adam]

Bob,

1. Try the POSITION parameter in the LABEL object in your map file.

2. One way I've tried is to duplicate the name attribute and then delete the
values from all those roads that you don't want labeled (all the little
curves).  It's less dynamic but can have nice results.

All,

Is the only way to rotate a labelitem by having a column with the 
rotation in the DBF?

Can't a labelitem be aligned somehow with the linework (street 
centerlines) that it's bound to.

Also, what's the procedure for filtering only one coccurance of a label, 
each segment has a street identifier, how do I only label one of the 
same street segments, vs all of the same street named segment?

Thanks'

bobb
