[Mapserver-users] label

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Leonardo,

that should be no problem, just define the label for the street layer in 
your mapfile sth. like this:

       LABEL
         TYPE truetype # label rotation only works with truetype fonts
	FONT arial
         BUFFER 1
         COLOR 50 50 50
         FORCE FALSE
         OFFSET 0 0
	ANGLE auto # this automatically rotates the label along the lines shape 
features
         OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
         PARTIALS TRUE
       END

It doesn't (shouldn't ;-)) matter what you use to draw the map, either 
php/perl/python-mapscript or cgi version.

Only if you draw single layers with mapscript layerObj.draw() then you 
have to draw the labelcache at some point otherwise no labels will 
appear at all.

HTH, Michael
