[Mapserver-users] Autonumbering of labels?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Steve Lime,

This should simplify the issues you raised about this feature. 
Basically, the autonumber feature should just draw all the points in the 
view using the FORCE option so there are no renumbering issues, because 
they are all drawn.
