[mapserver-users] RE: Labeling issue mutli lines and precision

Thu Mar 26 15:00:33 EDT 2009

This works ..... BUT???....

For some reason the 2nd and 3rd line seem indented a bit

Result:

1982

  19961001

  $ 250854

Do you know what could be causing this indent?

This is my Code:

       LAYER # Maple Grove Parcels

           NAME Parcel_Labels

           DATA './parcels.shp'

           STATUS DEFAULT

           TYPE annotation

           MAXSCALE 2000

           MINSCALE 100

              LABELCACHE ON

              CLASS

                         TEXT ([YEAR_BUI_1] * [SALE_DATE] * [SALE_VAL_1])  #label

                           LABEL

                                  COLOR 0 0 0

                                  OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 128

                                  WRAP "*" #select character to wrap on

                           END #label

              END #class

        END # Maple Grove Parcels

PRECISION:

As for the Precision I have also done that on the query results....dont really know if or how I can use that in the Labeling....for now I just converted the test data.  But in a real world setting I am not going to be able to do that.  I will be reading live...

If I have to I can created another database that has links and convert it there....but would rather bypass all that additional work...

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED....

THANKS MARK

In response to Jay's Labeling question:

I have multi line / field labels working:

In this example I am stringing together both the name and the parcel id as a

label, then splitting the label into two lines

CLASS

      NAME 'Parcels'

      TEXT ([TXLname] * [PARCEL_ID])  #label

      LABEL

            WRAP "*" #select character to wrap on

      END #label

END #class

I tried using precision in the query results, I have not tried it as part of

a label

[item name="NORTHING" precision=2]

Yea I can do that but then I have to build processes to do all the

converting...

I want to read this data live.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

One Last thought, don't know if I should enter a new topic...

I have three labels I want to label.  Right now I am using an Offset to push

one above, and one below (UC, CC, LC) with offsets.

And as such these are three separate layers in my app

I tried to combine all three into one map file but it only labels the first

one (I copied the original code in the original email and simply changed the

label field)(no matter what I do it just labels the first one it reads)

Can I combine these into one and still have them label on three different

rows

Value 1

Value 2

Value 3

Can I concatenate like this?

LABELITEM  'Value 1' & 'VALUE 2' & 'VALUE 3'

But how would I specify they are supposed to create 3 lines???

THANKS

It is always an option to create a string column and then populate it with

your numbers formatted the way that you want them to appear.  I am sure that

you realize this, but it is something that I have done in the past.

David.

Is there any way to eliminate the decimal places here...I looked online but

was unable to find anything.

Thanks

The fields I am labeling are numeric...so I get this

3434.000000000000

1232222.000000000000

I am looking to drop all the extra decimal places...

Or maybe set it to keep two

3434.00
