[mapserver-users] rotating a label 90 degrees.

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

That’s defintly an intreresting approach . . .

Bob,

  Maybe using Javascript style GEOMTRANSFORM  in the mapfle?

Steve,

I’m pretty sure I can get to what I need via SQL, but it would be rather convoluted.  It’s doable though.

I was hoping for doing something like “auto+/-90” as an option for a value.

I can’t think of anything offhand. If using PostGIS could you compute the angle and add 90? I think you could then use attribute binding on the result. Could pre-process data too. Otherwide we’d need an “angleoffset” parameters or something like that.

All,

Is there and way to label a line with the ANGLE value set to AUTO, but to rotate the label by 90 degrees?  I want to label a line by crossing perpendicular to the line vs aligned parallel.

Thanks
