ANCHORPOINT was introduced in 6.2.
Mapserver does not care about the units of measure, so you
can use what is most convenient for you.
Instead of measuring manually, you could digitize with
your favourite digitizing software and extract the numbers
from the resulting digital representation.

How about measuring? is there any tip? imagine I have a simple notebook with graph paper, I draw (or print) there the image I want to reproduce in mapserver and then measure it in centimeters? milimeters?

I was thinking about some tips to draw this image, I think first I should take a piece of paper and draw this image and then take the measurements from it, is this the right, easy way to do it? those values in v-poly were calculated in this way?
