SIZEITEM howto ?

[Fawcett, David]

You may want to try 'ONU_ID', I notice that for the label text you use uppercase for the field name.  I am not sure if case sensitivity is an issue in this case with PostGIS.

	Ok, but the problem is that when I do this nothing happens (the map doesn't change)

	 

	So I thought may be I'm missing something...

	 

	Here's the layer definition :   onu_id is an int4 ranging from 1 to 900

	 

	 

	  LAYER

	    CONNECTION "user=scy password=scy dbname=vmap host=localhost port=5432"

	    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS

	    DATA "the_geom from join_onu_wc USING UNIQUE ogc_fid using srid=4326"

	    MAXSCALE 500

	      METADATA

	      END

	    NAME "Cities"

	    PROJECTION

	      "init=EPSG:4326"

	    END

	    SIZEUNITS PIXELS

	    STATUS ON

	    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS

	    TYPE ANNOTATION

	    UNITS METERS

	    CLASS

	      NAME "DEFAULT"

	      LABEL

	        ANGLE 0.000000

	        ANTIALIAS TRUE

	        FONT "verdana"

	        MAXSIZE 256

	        MINSIZE 4

	        SIZE 8

	        TYPE TRUETYPE

	        BUFFER 0

	        COLOR 104 104 104

	        FORCE FALSE

	        MINDISTANCE -1

	        MINFEATURESIZE 35

	        OFFSET 0 0

	        PARTIALS TRUE

	        POSITION AUTO

	      END

	      METADATA

	      END

	      STYLE

	        ANGLE 360

	        COLOR 255 30 0

	        SIZEITEM onu_id

	        SYMBOL 7

	      END

	      TEXT ([ONU_CITY_NAME])

	    END

	  END

	Stephane, 

	 

	To use this, you would add a column to your shapefile or dataset that contained an integer value for how large you would like the symbol for that feature to be drawn.  

	 

	This allows you to set different symbol sizes for each feature as opposed to setting up separate classes with distinctive styles in the layer in the map file.

	David.

		Hi,

		 

		Could someone give us a brief description on how to use the STYLE / SIZEITEM property on points data ?

		 

		Like: what are the other related properties, what kind of attributes/fields are supported ?

		 

		It would be very helpful...
