[Mapserver-users] auto angle line labeling with mapscript

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Sean and other mapscripters,

i was testing this for a while now on different machines and i am nearly 
100% sure, that i can rule out mixing different versions of 
mapscript/mapserver/gd or other libs.

I tried a mapserver 4.0.1 version on a linux box and everything works 
fine there. Just on windows i get this behaviour.

Ok, in the next days i will try to use other versions of gd and 
mapserver. If nothing helps, i will write again.

Thanks, Michael
