[mapserver-users] Label wrapping question

[Dejan Gambin]

In the meantime, I have slightly changed msWrapText() function in maplabel.c to get what I wanted. If someone is interested I can share the short piece of code.

regards, dejan

This is leading to some bad results (label not wrapped or wrapped too early).
