[mapserver-users] Label polygon borders?

[Steve Lime]

If your polygons are consistently clockwise or counter-clockwise, you may be able
to use a LINE layer to do this. The label positions UC or LC should consistently
place the label in the polygon depending on orientation of the vertices.

Try it and see what happens...
