[mapserver-users] mapfile annotation underlined text

[Flavio Hendry]

Hi Diana

There is a little trick to do that, if you do not mind the text being 
"backgrounded". Just put the layer twice in the mapfile, once with a 
backgroundshadowcolor, once without and with an offset of 1 0.

Result see: http://www.tydac.ch/underline.gif

LAYER
     NAME "Grundstücksnummern"
...
     STATUS ON
     LABELITEM "gs_nummer"
     SIZEUNITS feet
         CLASS
             COLOR -1 -1 -1
             LABEL
                 ANTIALIAS TRUE
                 TYPE TRUETYPE
                 FONT "cadastra"
                 POSITION ur
                 SIZE 5
                 COLOR 0 0 0
                 OFFSET 1 0
                 BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
                 FORCE true
             END
         END
     PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:21781"
     END
END
