[Mapserver-users] legendObj outlinecolor property does not exist?

[Daniel Morissette]

Ooopps, you're talking about the legendObj, not the classObj... I should
have read your message more closely before responding... duh!

This change should also be described in the migration guide, but it's a
different story: the legend->outlinecolor is now of type ColorObj like
all other color variables in mapscript, so you access it this way:

   $my_legend->outlinecolor->setRGB(255,0,0);
