[mapserver-users] Labeling

[Jay Kapalczynski]

Don't know if I have to correct location.

 

I have been successful labeling street centerlines using the ANGLE
FOLLOW in the .map File


This is being performed on a Shapefile Line feature

 

I also have a Polygon Feature that has a field that I am trying to
label....once again I need the text to follow the polygon 

As you can see from the image the road names a following properly, but
the labels for the polygons are not following...

I tried the ANGLE FOLLOW on the Polygon and It will not draw..

I tried ANGLE [Angle] with Angle being a field name that holds Degree
values (ex 270) does the field have to be numeric?

 

 

Is there some other syntax that I have to put in the map file that will
force the text to follow the Polygon?

 

THANKS
