Hi Jack,
Annotation layers can be a bit confusing. They are not labels, but yet
are partially treated as such.....
Anyway, I find that the following annotation layer definition works
quite well for me:
########################################################################
LAYER
NAME "Annotation"
TYPE ANNOTATION
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "yourfile.dgn"
LABELITEM "TEXT"
STATUS OFF
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
CLASS
END
END
########################################################################
You MUST have the LABELITEM defined, and you MUST also have a class
(which is best left empty). There is something called LABELANGLEITEM,
but I am unable to get it to work. The result is that the labels are not
rotated. Would be good if someone else could explain how to rotate DGN
labels, because I don't know...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Jacob

Hi,
I've followed advices to use FORCE TRUE...etc....I am trying to
compare with and understand from some of you guys working code... have
yet to get it done. My knowledge is still far from there, although I've
played around quite a number of possibilities.
Delfos, I'm interested to know how to open DGN as annotation
layer? (In fact, I'm confused labelled text attributes with
annotations) I think your suggestion can lead me to solve the problem.
In essence, what to put for the LABELITEM? In my case, as output from
OGRInfo, I assume it is called "Text" attribute. I could be wrong.
I don't see error in the web server (apache)'s log.

Are you sure there is a value for the "Text" attribute?
Because this is
different from the annotation layer that is stored in a
DGN. The labels
you see in a DGN are annotations, NOT labelled text
attributes. To show
those annotations, you'd have to open the DGN as an
annotation layer, I
think.
Also, you are defining it as a line layer, yet you ask
for an outline
colour in the class, and "styleitem auto". If you use
"styleitem auto",
your colours in classes will be ignored. But to define
an outline colour
for a line-layer may be a problem...
Anything in your logs?

Hi,
Thanks for highlighting the error. I've changed
accordingly. But
I still see nothing for the label. I can't figure out
what else needs to
be amended. I've tried different parameters but failed.
To the minimum,
what's missing in the following portion?
I have the sans font properly put at the right
place
Since DGN file has just one layer, I assume I
only needs to deal
with one layer here?
Below is the portion of the code for the layer.
LAYER
NAME dgn
TYPE LINE
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "11sw9d.dgn,0"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
LABELITEM "Text"
CLASS
NAME "USA"
OUTLINECOLOR 60 60 60
SYMBOL 0
LABEL
COLOR 255 255 255
SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218
SHADOWSIZE 2 2
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT sans
SIZE 12
ANTIALIAS TRUE
POSITION CL
PARTIALS FALSE
MINDISTANCE 300
BUFFER 4
END # end of label
END
END # Layer

Your label definition must sit inside

Hi All,
Thanks for your information.
Based on your
comments, I've added
label section, the fonts and font list
for FONTSET.
I don't know what should I put
for LABELITEM. I
put "Text", as
seen in the dump out of OGRFeatures.
(sorry, I am really
novice in the
terms to use). I've tried amending the
various
parameters but still
don't see the labels coming out.
Would you please pinpoint me
what else I should
change in the
map file? Thanks.
My MapFile below:

Jack,
I *think* the most
common reason
autostyling text from
OGR fails in
mapserver is forgetting
to map the
"default" font in
your fontlist.txt file.
This is the font name
used when the
LABEL tool does not
include
an explicit font name,
as in this case.
Hopefully this will
help.
Best regards,
