Displaying LABEL with an ANGLE column value

[Julian Parker]

No sooner than I send the question I stumble across the solution. I had
been overlooking LABELANGLEITEM the whole time.

value

 

Greetings list,

 

Am trying to label point objects from a SHP file in MapServer and have
them appear at an angle drawn from an attribute column. I notice that
ANGLE AUTO only works with LINE objects and that ANGLEITEM is only
defined in the STYLE object. Is there a way in the Map file to get these
working together so the LABEL>ANGLE object uses the values defined in
STYLE>ANGLEITEM? I have had a look through the online doco and have not
come across a way to do this.

 

Many thanks in advance for help provided!
