I have a .tab file which I am currently accessing through OGR. It contains
lines like this:
OGRFeature(bklion):537
Street (String) = FT HAMILTON
FromLeft (Integer) = 105
ToLeft (Integer) = 107
FromRight (Integer) = 106
ToRight (Integer) = 110
ZipLeft (Integer) = 11209
ZipRight (Integer) = 11209
Style = PEN(w:1px,c:#c0c0c0,id:"mapinfo-pen-2.ogr-pen-0")
LINESTRING (976686.133 162407.387,976203.783 161682.929)
When I add them to my .map file as a layer the lines draw nicely. However I
can't get the street ('FT HAMILTON' in this example) to draw. What is the
minimal stuff I can put in my layer to get these labelled? Below is my
current layer. I have tried it with the STYLEITEM removed and also with the
LABEL block removed, but no labels.
LAYER
NAME "bk_streets"
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "data/streets/lion03C/bklion.tab"
STATUS DEFAULT
FORCE TRUE
TYPE LINE
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
LABELITEM 'Street'
CLASS
COLOR 255 255 255
LABEL
COLOR 132 31 31
SIZE 12
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT arial
POSITION CL
END
END
END
Thanks,
Matthew
