Labeling with ANGLE follow parameter

[Roxana Sevciuc]

Hello list,

I'm trying to display some road labels using a PostGIS database and the SVG
output format file. It is mandatory for me that the labels follow the line
(roads) curves, as well as the use of the SVG format.

Until now, I managed to do this only with the PNG output format by using the
"ANGLE follow" facility, as I'm using the latest version of MapServer. My
question is: is there possible to get the same result for the "IMAGETYPE
svg"? Is this option also available for the SVG?

If YES, why's that my mapfile (extract attached bellow) act like an "ANGLE
auto" setup? I have complex LINESTRING in my database, so MapServer should
be able to compute, for mostly all roads, the necessary paths for labels.

Is there someone able to link me to the source code which take into account
the labeling position issue and the generation of the SVG file?

Thanks a lot for helping me
