[mapserver-users] Outlining label text

[Ian Walberg]

As soon as I wrote this I think I have the answer.

This draws 2 outlines with the colour and outline colour the same.

The first one uses the outline width to extend the border around the
text.
The second one is bigger and a different colour we of course get an
outline.

Hello folks,

We are using labels with 2 lines of text and the wrap/align works well.

Then we want to draw a background and an outline for the combined text.

This works ok using the style in the label and GEOTRANSFORM labelpoly.

The problem we have is we can only get a 1 pixel border so that the
outline is just too close.

What do we need to know to draw the outline a little further out?

Thanks

Ian
