[mapserver-users] Line label in the edge of the map

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

You can position labels untransformed on the image but you would have 
to know where the line crosses the image in pixel space. Or if you 
can calculate the lat/long of where you want your label placed by say 
intersecting the lat or long line with the edge (extents) of you map 
you can get the lat/long, then position it at UL and you can give 
additional OFFSETs in X and Y to get it positioned nicely.
