Annotation and positioning referenced from the edges (like Scale POSITION Otption)

[Bob Basques]

All,

I guess I need to look harder next time, looks like it's in the newest version already . . . .  Silly me.

This works now. (COOL!)

MAP
     NAME 'point'
     UNITS FEET

     TRANSPARENT TRUE
     IMAGETYPE PNG

     SYMBOLSET point.symbols

     LAYER
         NAME 'copyright'
         TYPE ANNOTATION
         TRANSFORM LL
         STATUS DEFAULT
         FEATURE
             POINTS 40 -10 END
             TEXT 'Technical Services'
         END
         CLASS
             LABEL
                 TYPE BITMAP
                 COLOR 254 254 254
                 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
                 SHADOWCOLOR 0 0 0
                 SHADOWSIZE 1 1
                 SIZE TINY
             END
         END
     END
END
