Hello List,

I have a problem with labelling certain polygons that have odd shapes. =
For example I have a donut shape
polygon whose label is only showing when I draw it with TYPE LINE in the =
mapfile. TYPE POLYGON and
TYPE ANNOTATION only draws the label of polygons with normal shapes. I =
even tried it without the other layers showing so it is not a =
conflicting label problem. I have tried the different CACHE and POSITION =
settings and different mapserver cgi's but no luck...
Here is the layer settings in my mapfile:
LAYER
  NAME "Test"
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS ON
  DATA "theme2"
  LABELITEM "waarde"
  CLASS
    NAME "Maatschappelijke voorziening"
    COLOR 161 02 110
    LABEL
      TYPE truetype
      FORCE true
      FONT arial
      COLOR 0 0 0
      BACKGROUNDCOLOR 250 250 250 #WIT
      POSITION cc
      SIZE 8
    END
  END=20
END

Hope someone has some insight into this strange behavior....
