[mapserver-users] Outline on the roads label boxes

[Steve Lime]

You can however, develop separate classes based on label length. You'd have different
symbols to handle wide text vs. narrow. For example:

LABELITEM 'myitem'
CLASS
  EXPRESSION (length('[myitem]') > 5) # use a really wide shield
  STYLE
    SYMBOL 'reallywideshield'
     ...
  END
END
CLASS
  EXPRESSION (length('[myitem]') > 3) # use a wide marker
  STYLE
    SYMBOL 'wideshield'
     ...
  END
END
CLASS # default to a regular shield
  STYLE
    SYMBOL 'shield'
     ...
  END
END
