Hello everyone,
It's been quite a while since I posted here, everything went pretty
smooth so far.
Now I have a small problem with labels. We have MapInfo .TAB files,
which are converted from AutoCAD drawings (meaning everything is in one
layer).
When I open one of these files in MapInfo, I can see labels on some
places. When I draw the map with MapServer, I see only the (poly)lines.
So, I added an extra layer of type Annotation. This, by default, doesn't
show me any layers. So I need to add LABELITEM, but I have no idea what
layers need to be labeled. Also, this changes with every file that's
being drawn.
Does anyone know how to tell MapServer to draw labels "The MapInfo" way?
My current layer definition:
LAYER
NAME topo
MINSCALE 1
MAXSCALE 3000
STATUS ON
Type LINE
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "e:\topo.tab"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
Class
End #CLASS
End #LAYER
LAYER
NAME topo
MINSCALE 1
MAXSCALE 3000
LABELMAXSCALE 50000
STATUS ON
Type ANNOTATION
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "e:\topo.tab"
CLASS
LABEL
COLOR 100 0 0
POSITION LR
SIZE MEDIUM
END #label
END #CLASS
End #LAYER
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
With kind regards,
