[mapserver-users] Making labels appear less often on adjacent tiles

[Adrian Popa]

Thank you, Thomas,

That worked beautifully. I am curious, though - how does it work? I 
mean, the requests are independent and as far as I can see there is no 
"state" on the server telling him some request are part of a larger 
request. So, how can it know on which tile to show the label and on 
which tile not to show the label?

Thanks
