[mapserver-users] Displacing coincident points

[Jeff Konnen]

Hi everybody,

I've been looking into the mapserver documentation to find a way to
automagically displace coincident points.
There does not seem to be a way to do this.

Other vendors suggest that using labelling for the placement of the symbols
could be a solution (
http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2007/08/27/displaying-coincident-points/)
or propose tools for diperse markers [1] / displacement [2].



I've not managed to get any good result using Mapserver though.

Has anyone already done something similar?

TiA
Jeff
