[mapserver-users] Re: Mapserver 6.0.1 -- Label Class not recognizing token BACKGROUNDCOLOR

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

That's correct. The labelpnt is really the computed point based on the type of a geometry we're processing. For a point it's, well, just the point. For a polygon it's based on a number of successively complex computations to make sure the point is in the polygon- starting with the center of the features bbox and ending with a center of gravity computation. Lines use the middle of the longest segment.

Thanks, Thomas.
I changed it to:

"labelpnt generates the point relative to which the label
will be placed."

Better?
