[mapserver-users] GEOMTRANSFORM not working on "notices"

[Flavio Hendry]

Hi all

A notice can be defined as follows (see http://mapserver.org/faq.html):

LAYER
   NAME "copyright"
   STATUS ON
   TYPE annotation
   TRANSFORM ll #set the image origin to be lower left
   FEATURE
     POINTS
       60 -10 #set the offset from lower left position in pixels
     END
     TEXT "© xyz company 2006" #this is your displaying text
   END
   CLASS
     LABEL #defines the font, colors etc. of the text
       FONT "sans"
       TYPE TRUETYPE
       SIZE 8
       BUFFER 1
       COLOR 0 0 0
       BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
       FORCE TRUE
     END
   END
   UNITS PIXELS #sets the units for the feature object
END

BACKGROUNDCOLOR on labels is deprecated in V6 (who knows why ..., love 
this backward compatibility) ... and replaced by "GEOMTRANSFORM", 
therefore the new syntax is:

LAYER
   NAME "copyright"
   STATUS ON
   TYPE annotation
   TRANSFORM ll #set the image origin to be lower left
   FEATURE
     POINTS
       60 -10 #set the offset from lower left position in pixels
     END
     TEXT "© xyz company 2006" #this is your displaying text
   END
   CLASS
     LABEL #defines the font, colors etc. of the text
       FONT "sans"
       TYPE TRUETYPE
       SIZE 8
       BUFFER 1
       COLOR 0 0 0
	STYLE
	GEOMTRANSFORM 'labelpoly'
	COLOR 255 255 255
	OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
	WIDTH 10
	END
       FORCE TRUE
     END
   END
   UNITS PIXELS #sets the units for the feature object
END

However, it does not work .....

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best regards
