<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It looks like the label placement it not working very well if we need to place labels on polygons <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13.3333px">that are long thin rectangles orientated on an angle. See the attachment
as an example, where each polygon should have a single label at the center of the polygon.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13.3333px"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13.3333px">The problem is related to the implementatio</span>n of msPolygonLabelPoint in
<a href="https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/blob/branch-7-0/mapprimitive.c" target="_blank">
mapprimitive.c</a> where some kind of adjustment is happening when the label falls near to the polygon boundaries.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do we have a workaround to this problem or shouldn't we have an option to switch this correction off in the label definition?</div>
<div><br>
