Re: [mapserver-users] graticule label position

After a rather harrowing experience getting 6.0.1 compiled (never could figure out cairo I do need svg so I went back to 5.6.7), I re-examined my graticule label positions and sadly, saw no difference. Labels still do not appear on the image edges. They do of course appear on the edges when the

Folks, Is it possible to fix the position of graticule labels around the outside edge of a map in the face of on-the-fly reprojections of a shp file? Following a hint in a very old post in the archives, I managed to make fixed margin around the outside edge of a map where I hoped I could place

David, If you mean a specific number of pixels from your neat line, the answer is no. Currently the graticule logic fixes the location from the edge of the image (i.e. the other side of the label). And it doesn't do tics. Best Regards, Brent Fraser On 10/5/2011 8:44 AM, Shorthouse,

Brent, Tics are not so much a big deal. If I understand correctly, something like this cannot be avoided? http://www.simplemappr.net/?map=1110 What I'd rather have is the labels positioned around the outside edge of the image (i.e. horizontally and vertically) rather than arcing and

All, I did manage to cheat at this a while back by using some collar images around the main image to display the label in. I just stitched it altogether in a table. takes more calls to the server though. But it did work. I also payed around with applying these collar images as an

To be clear, I'm using PHP-mapscript (no mapfile at all) and MapServer 5.6.6. Was this known behavior and since fixed in 6.0.x? If so, I'm all over that! Dave (apologies for this note in your Inbox a second time Brent, replied all w/o first checking what account I was using) On Wed, Oct 5,

I doubt if it is fixed. Some time ago I did some label positioning fixes on my local code version, so I'll test with that. I just thought your PROJECTION, EXTENT, and GRID layer def would get me started... Best Regards, Brent Fraser On 10/5/2011 10:28 AM, Shorthouse, David wrote: To be

David, 6.0 fixed alot of these graticule lablling issues (in my testing). I was getting quite a bit of wandering in the label positions, and set up a test for the DEVs to see the results. bobb Shorthouse, David dshortho...@eol.org wrote: To be clear, I'm using PHP-mapscript (no
