[mapserver-users] symbology showing line direction

2008-02-29 Thread Adam Feidt
I'm working in a GeoMoose application and trying to display utility lines with the correct line direction via some arrow character or symbol. I've had no luck so far. I've successfully labeled my lines with a truetype font character by defining the TEXT parameter in the CLASS object.

I was hoping it could read ESRI's From and To node structure much like ArcMap, but by the sounds of it that isn't possible. Shapefile geometry is saved in the Shape column, which I'm guessing is useless in Mapserver. What you're saying is I need to create an attribute and populate it with the

Tim, I think this article makes sense, but there are a number of advantages of the 'BSD-ing' either. Most of the commercial users wouldn't want to choose this project if it was GPL-d so they would want to reinvent the wheels instead of suggesting good enhancements for the project. This option has

Two things are getting mixed up here: - dotnetmap might be using mapserver without mentioning it - Sharpmap is indeed using GDAL/OGR projnet and more but they are fully open about it. Mapserver is NOT running beneath Sharpmap. SharpMap does it's own map rendering. Adam Hill schreef: I

Adam, I am quite sure that MapServer is not going to read the line topology. To display direction, you will need to add an attribute for flow direction and populate it. You would then use an expression for each class that combined both the pipe type and the direction. (Maybe use -1 and 1 for

The primary thing going on here is that MapServer computes label placement AFTER features are clipped to the area of interest. It's a necessary step especially with linear features as a single label point doesn't always make sense. Since the algorithm places the label at the center of the
