XMAP Server 18.1 // [config.town.symbols]

[Fuema]

We started today using XSERVER 1.18.1.0.

We used to display the city codes in the map.
in the former version wie used this ini file roadattribues.ini, where we added following section

[config.town.symbols]
showpostcode=true

we´re using the default profile and we edited all ini files and we created the render.ini - unfortunately this didn´t work out.

do we have do add something else?
any ideas / tips?
thx

Hello Fuema,

this feature also works in the latest version. I guess the cause for the trouble is the missing link between the used request profile (xmap-default.properties or the profile requested by the CallerContext):

within the properties file there is a key=value that refers to the INI-File. By default this value is empty in the xmap-default.properties:

# The map profile contains visualization parameters such as colors etc.
# If empty the engine's default is used
#
map.profile=

Let's compare it with the xmap-combinedtransports.properties file:

# The map profile contains visualization parameters such as colors etc.
# If empty the engine's default is used
#
map.profile=combinedtransports.ini

And this ini-file has to contain the switch that enables the visualization of the zip codes.

Postcode visualization enabled

But: another potential cause is the scale as you can see on the following image:

postcodes invisible due to scale

The town label does not represent a postcode area but the whole town!

Quite sure that this helps,

Bernd

Thank you Bernd ! it was the missing link in the default.properties !

do you have an best practice to set in such ini files?
thx

Hello Markus,

sounds more like an xRoute question, isn't it ?

Please check http://127.0.0.1:50030/pages/configurator.html on the running xRouteServer.
Look at the profiles:

This page should display several available reference profiles:

Reference profiles, e.g. "truck40t_01-00_M"

To activate such a profile use the CallerContext / CallerContextProfile with key="Profile".

Best regards
Bernd
