[mapserver-users] changing dynamically LABEL BACKGROUNDCOLOR

[thomas bonfort]

Stephan,

I'm sorry, this isn't documented yet (to my knowledge), but should be
rather soon (see http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3609)

the other GEOMTRANSFORM option you can use is LABELPNT, which will
apply the current STYLE to a point feature centered on the label
point. This should allow to completely remove the need for ANNOTATION
layers.

regards,

thomas
