[mapserver-users] Label text always clipped by tiles

[Mike Stoddart]

Sorry, the server is on my laptop and isn't accessible from the
outside world. Yeah I've been burned too with a stale cache so I
delete it everytime I make a change. I also restart Apache to make
sure the new configuration is read.

test.map:

 LAYER
  NAME "test_text"
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=dbname user=username
password=password"
  DATA "the_geom from gis_geometry using unique id"
  FILTER "dataset='test_text' and etype='text'"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON"
  TYPE POINT
    TRANSPARENCY ALPHA
    LABELITEM "text"
    PROJECTION
        "init=epsg:4326"
    END
  CLASS
    NAME "text"
    STYLE
      COLOR 0 0 0
    END
    LABEL
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT "free-vera"
      SIZE 10
      COLOR 255 0 0
      POSITION CC
      PARTIALS TRUE
      FORCE TRUE
    END
  END
END

tilecache.cfg:
