[mapserver-users] LABELS - changing from single map to tiles and overlays - HOW?

[thomas bonfort]

Worth,

previously:

layer
 type annotation
 ...
 class
  style
    #markerstyle
  end
  label
    #labelstuff
  end
 end
end

now:

layer
 type point|polygon|whatever
 ..
 class
 #style
   #any style here applies to the actual geometry, i.e. for polygons
this would be a "fill". don't put anything here if you only want
markers next to your labels
 #end
 label
  #labelstuff
  style
   geomtransform "labelpnt"
   #markerstyle, the same as the one used previously
  end
 end
end
