label position

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Kurt,

Try something like this:

       LABEL
         ANGLE AUTO
         FONT "arial"
         TYPE TRUETYPE
         POSITION AUTO
         SIZE 7
         BUFFER 4
         COLOR 0 0 0
         ANTIALIAS TRUE
         PARTIALS FALSE
         MINDISTANCE 250
         MINFEATURESIZE 10
       END

-Steve
