[mapserver-users] Point lables and tiles

[paalkr]

Hi!

Thanks for the hint! The problem is that I'm using GeoWebCache and not
tilecache :) Is the
     METADATA
        labelcache_map_edge_buffer "-10"
    END
a MapServer keyword? What does it do exactly?

Any other possible solutions?

Regards,
Pål Kristensen
