[mapserver-users] SHPXY output formatting, how can I drop the comma in the X/Y separator??

Thu Mar 2 14:10:48 PST 2017

I had an enmail all written after the first couple of list replies, but thought better of it and didn’t send it.  Maybe it’s simply a matter of autgementing the Docs with additional examples for formatting.

A couple of more lines in the docs like so:

Just add this to the bootom of the SHPXY example(s):

As a(nother) simple example:

 [shpxy precision=“2” xh=“(“ yf=“)”]  will result in: (x1,y1) (x2,y2) (x3,y3)   ## I think this is the correction to the existing line in the Docs . . . at least it’s what I was experiencing.

or

[shpxy precision=“2” xf=“ “ xh="(" yf=")"]  will result in: (x1 y1) (x2 y2) (x3 y3)

Seems to me this is confusion on what a coordinate is. X and y are parts of a coordinate so cs is the separator between xy pairs. That could be made a bit clearer I suppose.

Maybe the docs should be updated. If nothing else at least open a ticket
with this additional information.

Thanks Steve,

That did it, but it wasn’t obvious from the docs that the before/after
options would supersede the separators.  I mean, shouldn’t yh= do the
same thing, it doesn’t, is just adds in a space?

Anyway, it worked.

Now that I read the docs in more detail, it does say that the default
for xf=“,”.  So that explains that.

Sorry to bother.

All,

I’m using this in my Template:

    ([shpxy precision="6" xh="(" yf=")"])

and it’s returning each group of coordinates for a polyline like this:

   ((576829.620110,157690.579906) (576835.359928,157694.480161) (576845.120079,157701.119911))

and I need it to look like this:

   ((576829.620110 157690.579906) (576835.359928 157694.480161) (576845.120079 157701.119911))

No commas.  Is there a way to set a “ “ as the separator?  “the “cs” parameter is not it, that separates the pair groups.

Thanks
