[mapserver-users] Offset values from database

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Wim,

If you don’t want me to tell you, you will likely want to look at the mapfile documentation at: http://mapserver.org/mapfile/style.html

[Spoiler Alert]
You can’t use values from an attribute table to set the value of this property
[/Spoiler Alert]

Subject: [mapserver-users] Offset values from database

Hi,

I'm trying to load offset X, Y data from the postgis database.

Each feature has an offset value defined there.

My mapfile (relevant part) looks like this:

In the layer:
                DATA                    "geom_mercator from map_links using unique Id using SRID=900913"

                        STYLE
                                WIDTH 6
                                COLOR 0 255 0
                                ANTIALIAS TRUE
                                ANGLE AUTO
                                OFFSET [offsetX] [offsetY]
                        END

Please don't tell me the offsetX, Y values cannot be read from the database. That would be a huge issue for me.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards
