Hi I seem to be having quite a challenge with the "BUFFER" parameter. I understand the that the buffer parameter should dictate that nothing be drawn around a label for xx pixels but that does not seem to work for me at all. I still have serious clashes between wording and other symbols from other layers are drawn over the text from time to time, it's so confusing. Does minscale/maxscale affect buffer values?<br>
<br>Also, my map suffers from color degredation for some of the icons (overlay symbols)? What kind of precautions do I need to take to prevent color degradation of my symbols?<br clear="all">
