Hello, I am labeling streets (again) and have two questions. I would be enormously thankful If anyone could help me.
1) First, if I set labels of the street line features to ANGLE FOLLOW, the output is sometimes weird as it is seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/snaperski/Ort#5363839637825485026 : Aleksander Pushkin's street is positioned weirdly on the top. Then, if I change to ANGLE AUTO, then that label is positioned better: http://picasaweb.google.com/snaperski/Ort#5363839638912023874 I am aware that in case of ANGLE FOLLOW the label is placed different from ANGLE AUTO, but that concrete street (Aleksander Pushkin) contains only one line segment, so it should'nt be different. The label section in the mapfile: LABEL TYPE truetype FONT "arial" COLOR 240 240 240 OUTLINECOLOR 52 52 52 SIZE 9 priority 3 ENCODING UTF-8 force false MINDISTANCE 200 MINFEATURESIZE 15 ANGLE follow POSITION cc BUFFER 2 END 2) Another question arouses from previous screenshots (ie http://picasaweb.google.com/snaperski/Ort#5363839637825485026) and is an encoding problem. Namely, I could'nt display correctly symbol "š" - that one appears crippled on the screen. My system uses mapserver 5.4.1 and libiconv package version 1.13.1. Data to be displayed uses shapefile. I already tried to edit those street label values in the shapefile to make sure that input character "š" is from UTF-8 charset. I tried to change encoding to ISO-8859-1 also (in the mapfile), but nothing. So, I would appreciate a little help here ;) Best wishes, Raivo Alla _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
