[mapserver-dev] GEOMTRANSFORM labelpnt location

[Brent Fraser]

Christy,

     It's the blue dot location I have a problem with.  From the doc, I 
expected it to be at the same location as the green cross and yellow 
circle.  It's not all that serious, but I'm putting together a plan for 
advanced polygon labeling using GEOMTRANSFORM and I wanted to make sure 
I understood the existing functionality.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
