[Geomoose-users] Need label opacity independent of vector layer

[Jim Dahl]

I see there are three ways to do this, but I can only set individual
opacities with two entries in the mapbook unless they can be set in the
mapfile.  Jacob's Invisible = "true" in your .xml file, Bob and Brent
with no name in the mapbook and the mapfile.

I don't think so...

One entry in the mapbook (so only one GM "layer" with a checkbox):

<map title="Parcels" default="true">
     <file>./Parcels.map</file>
</map

but two LAYERs in the Parcels.map file, one with no NAME entry in the
CLASS so 
its no included in the mapserver-generated legend.
