[mapserver-users] Displaying multiple labels with the same lat/long

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Not sure about clustering, but there may be other options as well:

You might be able to simply use POSITION AUTO and give these labels a high priority. MapServer will place them. If you need markers in this case you'll need to draw those separately to avoid marker collisions. So, one layer for points and the other for high-priority labels.
  
Version 6.2 supports multiple labels per feature. If you can de-normalize your data so you have 1 point plus multiple columns of companies (e.g. company1, company2, etc...) then you can use this approach. There's also leader support when things get really tight.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Displaying multiple labels with the same lat/long

Folks,

We have some data we need to display which has a number of companies in
the same city so the same lat/long.

So in these cases only one of the labels is displayed.

Can this be done using the cluster functionality and where do we find an
easy example?

Thanks

Ian
