[Geomoose-users] label placement for polygons

[Ed Boesenberg, III]

You need to change the data type within the map file to "line" and it will
label it like a  line segment and not a polygon.  If you have some type of
shading or fill pattern you need an additional layer with those polygon
styles specified.

Jim,

  Labeling is a mapserver function.  Does using POSITION CC in the LABEL
object in the map file help move the label away from the edge?

Any suggestions for labeling away from the edge when the polygon is "L"
shaped.  It apparently goes to the center of the bounding box and I would
like it to buffer from the edge of the polygon.  I do not see anything in
the label class documentation.

 

Thanks,
