[mapserver-users] graticule label position

[Shorthouse, David]

After a rather harrowing experience getting 6.0.1 compiled (never
could figure out cairo & I do need svg so I went back to 5.6.7), I
re-examined my graticule label positions and sadly, saw no difference.
Labels still do not appear on the image edges. They do of course
appear on the edges when the layer is not reprojected. But, when the
map is reprojected, grid layer labels get slapped around. Here's
another spectacular example when the grid layer is epsg:4326 and the
map's projection is epsg:102017: http://www.simplemappr.net/?map=1111.
I'm not sure if labels on the edges would actually help with this
projection unless latitudes and longitudes labels could also be
clearly differentiated.
