[mapserver-users] trying new label positioning - no change

[William Kyngesburye]

I'm trying the new label positioning improvements for polygons in  
trunk from

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/606

but AUTO seems to be ignoring the initial CC in the new ordering -  
with no collisions with other labels, all polygons are labelled at the  
UL corner of the polygon center.

Are there special conditions for AUTO/CC to work?  A typical label I'm  
trying is:

LABEL
   COLOR 0 100 222
   SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218
   SHADOWSIZE 1 1
   OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
   TYPE TRUETYPE
   FONT helvetica-italic
   SIZE 9
   POSITION AUTO
   WRAP '|'
   PRIORITY 5
   MINFEATURESIZE 16
END

AUTO:

POSITION CC does work to label polys at CC:

PS. the new gravity positioning is nice!
