[mapguide-users] Redline Text

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

If your data has a spare column (or you can add one), simply set the 
Feature Label to use this column, and
you can update the column data to change the text.

If you have no spare columns, you can add a new FeatureSource (or table 
in a database) that has a text column.
Then insert points that correspond to the desired location (pehaps the 
feature centroid), and update text as you like.

If you are writing this from scratch, take a look at the buffer code, as 
it shows how to add a (temporary) feature source,
and corresponding layer.
