[mapserver-users] connect label to features
Hi all, I would like to know if it is possible to link a feature with its label, something like QGIS is doing in Labels -> Callouts. thanks a lot -- ciao Luca www.lucadelu.org ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] connect label to features
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/leader.html I'm not sure why it's limited to polygons though...

Re: [mapserver-users] connect label to features
Hi Luca, I had created that page that Thomas pointed to, I see that my test files are still available that I used to generate those map images (https://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/tickets/label-leader.zip). Give that mapfile a try with your local MapServer instance, and let me know if I need to update that test package. (I think that I should start doing this for all documented features from now on, include a link to my test mapfiles) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna GatewayGeo: Developers of MS4W, MapServer Consulting and Training co-founder of FOSS4G http://gatewaygeo.com/ On 2021-06-24 2:00 p.m., thomas bonfort wrote: https://mapserver.org/mapfile/leader.html I'm not sure why it's limited to polygons though...

Re: [mapserver-users] connect label to features
Hi Luca, I agree with your thoughts that it would be nice if it worked with points as well. (I don't believe that I ever had it working locally with anything but polygons) Please definitely file a ticket.

Re: [mapserver-users] connect label to features
Luca, I've done more testing and in fact I can get point & line features (with label leader lines) to work with that mapfile. I can now see Thomas' point, that this is a documentation issue (likely when I originally documented this I could only get it to work with polygons, but now when I test I can get points,lines,polygons to work by adapting that same mapfile). I'll fix that document now. If you post your mapfile and data I can test your data locally here. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna GatewayGeo: Developers of MS4W, MapServer Consulting and Training co-founder of FOSS4G http://gatewaygeo.com/ On 2021-06-24 3:12 p.m., Jeff McKenna wrote: Hi Luca, I agree with your thoughts that it would be nice if it worked with points as well.
