[mapserver-users] Different SIZEUNITS for line width and label fontsize

[Vladimir Cvejanovic]

Hi All,

In the Mapfile, Is it possible to have different SIZEUNTIS for line 
width and label font in the same layer? The example is below.

I have managed to solve this by defining two layers one which only 
displays the line and one which only displays the labels however this 
seems like a hack and very inefficient from a processing / querying 
point of view.

The context is a line layer containing road lines which have a width in 
meters but labels in pixels. This would make things scale nicely Can 
this be done? Does anyone have a better approach?

Thanks,
Vladimir

LAYER

        COLOR 55 55 55
      END
      LABEL

   END
