In the natural earth file ne_50m_geography_marine_polys I'm selectively displaying the label of a feature based on zoom level and the relative size of the feature. There's a field called "scalerank" that's an integer in the 0-6 range that indicates the relative scale of the feature - e.g. the Atlantic Ocean is a 0, the Mediterranean is a 1, and the Chesapeake Bay is a 4. I'm using this number to determine the maximum zoom level (label_level) for displaying the label for that map feature. Oceans were no problem as the data type is an integer. After some frustration I figured out that the same field name in a different file ( ne_50m_lakes ) is a float. Once I figured that out I found a RE to match it. Thank for confirming what I had guessed. -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
