[mapserver-users] Re: Polygon layer with no fill shows line thumbnail in the legend image

[Tamas Szekeres]

That would be a good idea to define a feature for the legend icon per class.
We should also be able to define a custom text attribute so that we could
customize the text displayed for the annotation layers. I assume this would
apply for a new RFC in practice.

Best regards,

Tamas
