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

[Gerald Buckmaster]

All,

Disregard the irrelevant ramblings about truetype with this exception:
The legendObj rendered text (type unknown, though I asked for truetype) with 
the size property set; the scalebarObj did not - it errored.  As soon as I 
remarked out the "$my_lg_label->set(size, 10);" on the labelObjects of both 
major objects, it worked.

I still have no outline around the legend.  Probably something simple.
