[mapserver-users] MapServer GRID object.

Bob,

  I take it you mean LABELFORMAT (not FORMATOPTION)?  From
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/grid:

LABELFORMAT [DD|DDMM|DDMMSS]
Format of the label. "DD" for degrees, "DDMM" for degrees
minutes, and "DDMMSS" for degrees, minutes, seconds. The
default is decimal display of whatever SRS you're rendering
the GRID with.

All,

I got the GRID object to work and display in this interface:

http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/?mapbook=/datasets/CONFIGS/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/MAPBOOKS/TS/gismo3_test_public.xml

I still need to know more info about the function though, is
FORMATOPTION the only method of changing the labeling?  I
would like to get rid of the Scientific notaion that it uses
by default and use LAT/LON instead.

Specifically I'm trying to get it to label using the US
National Grid.  Anyone had any experience with this?  I have
a couple of other experimental layers in the interface
referenced above that are sourced with Polygons,and Polyline
SHP files as well as via the MapServer Grid Object.  Im
shooting for the GRID labeling method as the preferred
output at this point.

Thanks for any pointers.
