[mapserver-users] Apply a single label to all the classes in a layer

[Mark Volz]

Thank you for your reply.

 

I should have clarified my needs better.  I want the same label to apply to
all classes.  I could copy and paste the LABEL section to each class, however
since I plan to deal with many classes that would make it more difficult If I
wanted to modify my label.

I think you can do 

EXPRESSION /./

in a single CLASS and it will work for all values in that field. Technically
it works for all "remaining" values in a field not previously specified, so
you could define a few specific classes to be unique, and then use the above
to symbolize the rest, if that was something you wanted.

hope that helps,

Tanya

Hello,

I have a layer that contains many different classes.  Can we apply a single
label to all the classes in a layer?

For Example can we make a map file like this:

LAYER

        CLASS

                EXPRESSION      

                STYLE

        CLASS

                EXPRESSION

                STYLE

        ....      

LABEL #for all classes

        COLOR

        ...

END #Layer

As opposed to making a layer file like this:

LAYER

        CLASS

                EXPRESSION

                STYLE

                LABEL

        CLASS

                EXPRESSION

                STYLE

                LABEL

        ...

END #Layer

                

Thanks
