[mapserver-users] ANNOTATION/TOPONYMY versus LABELS

[Paul Ramsey]

Has there been any thought given to supporting explicit annotation? By that I 
mean, textual elements which have specific fixed ground heights, locations, 
rotations. Generally, ANNOTATION is more cartographic, and LABELS are more of 
a GIS thing. But (a) there are lots of organizations out there which have 
toponymy in annotation forms and (b) good annotation really makes a good 
cartographic product.
