[mapserver-users] force labels to centroid only

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Look at the "LABEL_NO_CLIP" processing option. That tells MapServer to compute a label point before clipping to the map view.

Subject: [mapserver-users] force labels to centroid only

When labeling Public Land Survey polygons I would like to force the
label to stay at the center of the polygon, and if the center of the
polygon is not visible in the map view (only a portion of the poly is
visible) then I do not want the label to be drawn. The way that I'm
currently doing this is with a separate point layer for labeling,
which works fine. I'm just wondering if there is a label directive
that I am overlooking that could be applied to the poly layer?

Thanks,
Rich
