I've added user-selectable map label font used by
draw_rotated_label_text(). I only added the language-English.sys
entries for it. How does one get the entries done for other languages?
The selection is just a text box with a font name. I've used xfontsel
to select the font name and then paste it into the box. Not sure if a
font chooser widget is available or worth bothering with....
In dbfawk I've added the "skip" keyword which says to skip processing
the rest of the record. (Compare to "next" which says to skip processing
the field.) Here's a sample usage excerpt which fixes a miscoding in
the Tiger/Line data that labels a major highway segment with the name of
a local road that exits from it. I was wondering why when my map was
zoomed way out, Furnace Dock Rd showed up....
# This Furnace Dock Rd segment is really Rt 9!
/^TLID=139773160$/ {name="Briarcliff-Peekskill Pky"; display_level=8192;
label_level=512; color=4; lanes=4; skip;}
On my todo list is to start documenting dbfawk in README.MAPS. Not to
mention about 100 other tweaks that are still problems (getting layering
to be driven by the data, implementation of transparency and various
other attributes, symbols, etc.).
