[mapserver-dev] Thoughts on ANGLE FOLLOW results

[Jeff McKenna]

For the FOSS4G WMS Benchmarking exercise we have to label a contour line
layer, curved along the lines.  I am comparing MapServer's results with
GeoServer (attached). I am trying to tweak the LABEL object parameters,
but I am still not happy with the MapServer results.

Should I be satisfied with these results?  Or is this is bug in our
MapServer label logic?  Please give me your thoughts. (notice the
mangled '730' label in the middle, and the upside down '550' in the
bottom right)

        LABEL
          COLOR  230 183 119
          FONT sans
          TYPE truetype
          SIZE 12
          PARTIALS FALSE
          OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
          OUTLINEWIDTH 5
          ANGLE FOLLOW
          MINFEATURESIZE AUTO
          BUFFER 3
        END
