[mapserver-dev] Motion: change default POSITION AUTO labelling order for point layers

[thomas bonfort]

Hi devs,

We have tickets 2981, 4242 and 4249 opened to ask for a change in the
order which labels are placed around a label point, in order to obtain
better quality text placement.

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2981
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/4242
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/4249

While the long-term solution will allow us to configure this order at
the mapfile level, I motion that we change this order from


1 7 3
6 X 5
4 8 2

to

6 1 5
4 X 3
8 2 7

for the 6.2 release.
I'll start with my +1.

regards,
thomas
