[mapserver-dev] [mapserver-users] Label position not as expected version 7.0.x

[Ian Walberg]

Thomas.

Hmm, I do not understand why the change was made from the older versions.

So the vertical ‘center’ position is actually align the text baseline with the point position and not the ‘center’ of the text as previously?

Regards

Ian

Ian,
It's the intented effect, with the label baseline aligned with the symbol baseline. You can probably nudge it manually with an offset if you need to.

Folks,

Happy New Year to everyone.

Using version 7.0.x we are not seeing the label positon as we had for previous versions for mapserver.

The vertical label position now appears to not center naturally on the text but is towards the bottom of the center line.

Are we missing something?

Thanks

Ian
