[mapserver-users] Polygon layer does not cover labels

[Sven Geggus]

Hello,

I have a mapfile which contains amongst other a labeled contour layer.
However these are not very acurate because they are derived from
SRTM. For this reason I render the ocean polygon layer above the contour
layer.

This works fine for the contours but does not seem to work for the
contour labels.

So the question is how to make the polygon layer opaque for labels.

Here are the relevant parts of my mapfile:

LAYER
  TYPE LINE
  NAME contours
  PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON"
  ...
      STYLE
         WIDTH 1.0
         COLOR "#BE9E9E"              
       END
       LABEL
         ANGLE FOLLOW            
         REPEATDISTANCE 450
         TYPE TRUETYPE FONT sc PARTIALS FALSE OUTLINEWIDTH 0
         SIZE 8
         COLOR "#996666"
       END
    END
END

LAYER
  TYPE POLYGON
  PROCESSING     "APPROXIMATION_SCALE=FULL"
  name ocean
  ...
  CLASS
   STYLE 
    COLOR "#579ae3"
   END
  END # of class  
END
  


Regards

Sven
