[mapserver-users] setting up a map file for mapcache - assistance with polygon labeling

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

I am trying to set up mapfile for tiling on mapcache.  I have a couple issues:

First,
I came across documentation stating that I should use PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON"  so that labels continue across tiles.  Unfortunately one of the side effects that I noticed with LABEL_NO_CLIP is that the density of labels is decreased dramatically.   On one map file with LABEL_NO_CLIP=OFF every parcel on a block is labeled, however if I turn LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON then only two of the 10 parcels are labeled.  (could this be a bug?)

Second,
Is it possible to repeat labels on a polygon so that there is at least one label a 500 by 500 box?

If anyone could give me any tips on preparing polygon labels that will be tiled let me know.
Thank You
