labelcache_map_edge_buffer Information?

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Chris,

  The  labelcache_map_edge_buffer metadata applies on all text rendered 
by maserver (nothing to do with WMS AFAIK). Check Bug 1353 and 1355 on 
this issue.  Setting it in your map file is like you said a metadata at 
map level labelcache_map_edge_buffer with the buffer in pixel that ou 
want (note that the buffer value should be negatif). Or mapscript

  $oMap->setMetadata("labelcache_map_edge_buffer", -$my_buffer);

Later,
