[mapserver-users] Label problem

[Shaz N]

Hi..

Thank you for your reply Steve.

Thanks to Mr Worth, I've solved the major part of my labeling error. The map
file looks much more neater now and I am almost satisfied. But there is
something that is still puzzling me.

I have attached 3 pics with this email. Img 1, 2 and 3 all show the same
area but at different zoom scales. I have shown different classes of roads
in different contrasting colors so that we can easily differentiate them
during the study.

Here is the portion from my map file:

LABEL
           ANGLE follow
          COLOR 0 0 255
          FONT arial
           TYPE TRUETYPE
           SIZE 7
           POSITION auto
           ANTIALIAS true
           MINFEATURESIZE auto
           MINDISTANCE 100
           MAXSIZE 7
           BUFFER 5
           PARTIALS false
         END
     END # end class

These are for the 3 classes of roads in which the label does not lie within
the width of the road.

The other classes, in which the label is placed within the width of the road
and follows the road perfectly, have the following labels:

LABEL
           ANGLE follow
           COLOR 0 0 255
           FONT arial
           TYPE TRUETYPE
           SIZE 8
           POSITION auto
           PARTIALS false
           ANTIALIAS true
           MINFEATURESIZE 50
           MINDISTANCE 150
           MAXSIZE 8
           BUFFER 5
    END
    END # end class

I have tried changing the width of the road under 'style' of the class, and
also the size of the label, but I do not see any changes in the position of
these labels.

I use MapServer version 5.

Is there anything I can do to solve this?

Thanks.

Regards,
Shaz
