[mapserver-users] Label alignment . . .

[Bob Basques]

All, 

Ok, I made some progress, sort of. 

I started out here: 

http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/FED/USGS/USNG/mn_usng_lines_labels_2_public.map?mapext=503179.6728349806%20111379.8994326578%20508281.0020239575%20135621.41573867595&mapsize=70%20600&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1241653121858 ( http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/FED/USGS/USNG/mn_usng_lines_labels_2_public.map?mapext=503179.6728349806%20111379.8994326578%20508281.0020239575%20135621.41573867595&mapsize=70%20600&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1241653121858 ) 

The three labels get justified ok horizontally in relation to each other, but they don't line up vertically, which is what I'm after, so . . . 

I had a thought about using "ANGLE follow" instead of "ANGLE 0" and then I get this: 

http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/FED/USGS/USNG/mn_usng_lines_labels_2b_public.map?mapext=503179.6728349806%20111379.8994326578%20508281.0020239575%20135621.41573867595&mapsize=70%20600&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1241653121858 ( http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/FED/USGS/USNG/mn_usng_lines_labels_2b_public.map?mapext=503179.6728349806%20111379.8994326578%20508281.0020239575%20135621.41573867595&mapsize=70%20600&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1241653121858 ) 

Now the vertical alignment is nice and straight, but the OFFSETs are ignored for the two outside (larger text) labels for the line.  Should the OFFSET parameter be ignored with "ANGLE follow"? 

I could use this with three different images side by side, but it would be nicer to just have one image . . . . 

Thanks for any ideas . . . . Still putzing with it . . .
