[mapserver-users] fyi: solved road sheilds and road names

[Mark Volz]

FYI with help from Brent Fraser's I was able to get road shields AND road
names to label.

LAYER #sheilds
	.....	
CLASS
		....
		TEXT ([ROAD_NUM])	
		SYMBOL '../../symbols/USHWY.png'
		LABEL
			....
			FORCE TRUE
		END #LABEL
	END #CLASS
END
LAYER #names
	.....	
CLASS
		....
		TEXT (          [ROAD_NAME]) #extra space to offset label 
		LABEL
			....
			FORCE TRUE
		END #LABEL
	END #CLASS
END

*note force true should be used as both labels have the same starting point.
Also, the text should have some spaces in there to offset the label
