Hi,
Do you know how to write an outline on the roads label boxes, just like the
ones that Google Maps has? In Mapserver docs I only see an outline for the
letters and not for the background. Does Mapserver support it?
You can see the labels (L2150, K2, K7) with white background and
this isn't currently possible.
best regards,
thomas

Hi,
You can use an annotation layer with a symbol. Something like:
LAYER
NAME labels
TYPE ANNOTATION
DATA /your/data/path/
STATUS ON
LABELITEM RD_NUM
CLASS
NAME road_numbers
STYLE
SYMBOL 'rectangle'
COLOR 255 255 255
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 16
END
LABEL
You can however, develop separate classes based on label length. You'd have
different
symbols to handle wide text vs. narrow. For example:
LABELITEM 'myitem'
CLASS
EXPRESSION (length('[myitem]') 5) # use a really wide shield
STYLE
SYMBOL 'reallywideshield'
...
END
END
CLASS
The label background is getting quite cluttered actually, we have
backgroundcolor, backgroundshadowcolor, backgroundshadowsize, and
maybe a couple of others I'm forgetting.
maybe we could add something equivalent to backgroundstyle that would
have the same syntax as a class STYLE, that would then
I've done it with several rectangle symbols.
Thank you all for the quick answers! :)
