Labeling a layer - MapInfo TAB via OGR

[Julian Parker]

Greetings all,

 

This seemed like it would be a simple problem but I have not been able
to figure out how to get it working. I am trying to label a layer that
is referencing a MapInfo TAB file but the labels wont show up and I have
not been able to track down any info on what I am doing wrong (or I am
REALLY missing something!) Below is a snippet of my MAP file:

 

  LAYER

    NAME "Suburbs"

    STATUS ON

    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR

    CONNECTION "suburbs_bdry.TAB"

    TYPE LINE

    STYLEITEM "AUTO"

    UNITS METERS

    SIZEUNITS PIXELS

    TOLERANCE 0

    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS

    LABELCACHE on

    LABELITEM "SUBURB"

    METADATA

    END

    CLASS

            NAME "Suburbs"

            LABEL

                        COLOR 0 0 0

                        SIZE 20

            END

    END

    CLASS

    END

  END

 

I can get labelling working if I convert the TAB to SHP and not use OGR
but this is not a workable solution for this particular project.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
