[mapserver-users] Label text always clipped by tiles

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I have never done this kind of label stuff myself, but Mapserver documentation seems to say that first the LAYER should have LABELCACHE ON before other advanced features have an effect. You sure have activated labelcache?

Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] Label text always clipped by tiles

My problem is that I need ALL labels to be complete and visible. I
cannot display a partial label. Now I don't see any clipped labels
because they aren't displayed. I'm using:

tilecache 2.11
mapserver-5.4.2.3.fc12.x86_64
mapserver-python-5.4.2.3.fc12.x86_64

which I should have mentioned earlier.

Thanks
Mike
