[mapserver-users] LABELANGLEITEM in MS 5.0 using OGR:LabelAngle for annotation layer

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi,

According to
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/branches/branch-5-0/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT

You have to use in your mapfile something like:

LABEL
  ...
  ANGLE [OGR:LabelAngle]
END

Best regards,

Tamas
