[mapserver-users] label sizes not scaling

G'day all, using mapserver 5.4 as a WMS server (to an openlayers application) I don't seem to be able to get any scaling of labels. If I set SIZE 10, they are 10 pixel. If I don't set any size params, they are 4. If I set minsize, they are minsize (but the ALIGN is poor). if I set minsize

You need to set a SYMBOLSCALE at the layer level. That's the scale denominator (e.g. 10) at which a label SIZE will be equal to what you set in the mapfile. As you move away from that value the labels will get larger or smaller. Steve >>> On 6/24/2009 at 3:44 AM, in message <8fd90a8c-99c0-4

Thanks Steve, I can now go back to about 20 different map files floating around the internet and get this working. For some reason after nearly five years of using MapServer I'd never worked this out! I might trac this for addition to the docs - cheers Ben On 25/06/2009, at 12:13 AM, St
