Hi, I am using addFeature to dynamically add site locations with a label to a map. It's Perl mapscript.
@sites is an array of hash references, $sitesLyr is from the map file: ############### foreach my $site (@sites) { my $site_pt = $$site{'site_loc'}; $site_pt =~s/.*\((.*)\)*./$1/; # extract the points x and y my $line = new mapscript::lineObj(); my $siteShp = new mapscript::shapeObj($mapscript::MS_SHAPE_POINT); my $point = new mapscript::pointObj(); my($x,$y) = split(/ /, $site_pt); $point->setXY($x,$y); $line->add($point); $siteShp->add($line); $siteShp->{text} = $$site{'site_name'}; $siteShp->setBounds(); $sitesLyr->addFeature($siteShp); } my $img = $map->draw(); ############# This works perfectly for the usual PNG output map. Using the same routine for a SVG 'image' results in the symbols/markers getting plotted, but the labels are missing. If I switch to a static shapefile for this layer, the labels do appear in the SVG. Is there anything special with SVG output and the 'addFeature' method for layers that I am missing? Thanks, Martin
