read symbol angle from database

[Fawcett, David]

Are you using TrueType fonts?  Rotation is not available for bitmap fonts.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your answer.

The keyword used to name the attribute which stores the angle is actually "LABELANGLEITEM". But adding to my layer definition:

LABELANGLEITEM ROTATION

doesn't change the orientation of the symbols. I think this keyword is more related to labelling the symbols, not drawing them.

Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks,

François.
