[mapserver-users] cartography questions.

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

 

I have a couple cartography questions. 

 

First, I noticed if I zoom in to the center of multiple polygons the layers
stack over each other.  For example If I zoom in to a scale of 1:1000 I will
see the township name, parcel number, and section all stacked on top of each
other, and therefore difficult to read.  Does anyone know if we can buffer
labels between different layers?

 

Second,  I have had some criticism that the labels appear to be grainy.  I am
using an outline color to help remedy the situation.  Does anyone have any
other ideas?

 

Third,  does anyone know if we can make the outline color of a text label
semi-transparent?
