[mapserver-users] Constraining label position

[Jan Hartmann]

Hi,

The development version of Openlayers has a new facility: smooth tile 
transition. When panning, the old image remains visible for 2.5 seconds 
under the new one, so as to make the panning process smoother. This 
works fine for static maps, but gives undesired effects with MapServer 
labels. Those are computed anew for every request, so e.g. labels for 
items at the corner of the map get a different position, to keep them 
inside the displayed map. This results in old and new labels being 
displayed next to one another for some time.

Is there an option in MapServer to constrain the labels to always have 
the same position respective to the geometry they are labeling?
