Alias

The alias profile allows the map author to write an expression to evaluate a numeric value and return a text alias representing that value.

When the alias is needed, the script will be evaluated. It will be passed the value for which an alias is desired. It is expected that the script returns a text value, comprising the alias to be shown.
