This bug maybe a blocker for release to Ag Can. Setting to P1..
Q1: Answer, bitmap font canNOT be rotated. Which means Any time the user selects the Bitmap Family font type using the combo box. The Rotation text box and Rotation Automatic check box should be greyed out. Currently this is not totally happening in both firebird and IE. Q2: still stands as a problem Q3: Answer, I was correct in assuming that automatic means Automatic Rotation of the labels by mapserver. My suggestion is to reorganize the interface. These features should be treated as two separate options a user can do. Currently this is not clear. For example: Rotation: Automatic [x] checkbox Manual [textbox] *(0-360 degrees)* or (0 to +/-90) or (0 to 180) It is important to label the degree range because this can be done in many ways.
we verified that rotations of truetype fonts are passed through to the interface, except that autoangle is not added to generated code. Assefa may be able to answer on whether this is supported by sld. It isn't present in the generated sld. I will work on javascript to disable unavailable options depending on selection.
to clarify: specified-angle rotation of truetype fonts does work. Please verify.
The rotation only applies to truetype, which means that the rotation feature in the labelizer should be greyed out when using bitmap.
