Hi,

Is the short answer by Stephen Woodbridge "No" in the tread
http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/force-labels-to-fit-in-polygons-td4549296.html
still valid?

I have been trying to label a polygon dataset with Mapserver 6.2 beta2 and some labels keep on falling outside their polygons.  By the way, the thread contains an advice that does not work for me:
" By the way, PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON" will fix the label point at the polygon center.

Is the solution to create a new layer with point-on-surface function and label then this point layer?
