[mapserver-users] Support for rendering INLINE layers with layer attributes (items)

[Tamas Szekeres]

Folks,

I've prepared a patch to implement a support for using the attributes of the
inline features when rendering the layer (eg. for supporting LABELITEM and
CLASSITEM or attribute bindings) The item names have to be specified by
using a PROCESSING parameter as follows:

LAYER

    NAME "INLINE"

    TYPE POINT

    PROCESSING "ITEMS=item1,item2,item3"

    FEATURE

        POINTS -0.2 51.5 END

    END

END


Though it haven't been addressed, we might also want to add new keywords to
set the values of the features explicitly or use the TEXT parameter to split
a comma separated list into the values in case if "PROCESSING ITEMS=" is
specified, like:

    FEATURE

        POINTS -0.2 51.5 END
        TEXT "value1;value2;value2"

    END

The corresponding ticket along with the patch can be found here:

Let me know if we can proceed with this to add it for 5.4.

Best regards,

Tamas
