[Mapserver-users] Label

[Lowell Filak]

Simple way: I'm not sure one exists.
What we currently do is use MapScript to loop through the label cache and create a rectangular imagemap around each label.
This also creates the client-side javascript to show/hide the label as the mouse passes.
It does not create the imagemap for the actual polygon as that can take a loooong time to do dynamically based on number of arcs in each polygon & segments in each arc.
If the data is static you could always create the imagemap information ahead of time.
I have seen at least a couple of discussions to that effect...
