[mapserver-users] How to make label background transparent?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi All,

I have a mapfile with:

MAP IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

and LAYER with:

   CLASS
     STYLE
       COLOR "#000000"
       WIDTH 1
     END
     LABEL
       STYLE
         GEOMTRANSFORM 'labelpoly'
         COLOR 255 255 255
       END
       TEXT (tostring([DEG_F], "%.1f"))
       TYPE TRUETYPE
       FONT "arial"
       SIZE 10
       COLOR '#000000'
       #OUTLINECOLOR '#ffffff'
       #OUTLINEWIDTH 5
       MINDISTANCE 250
       MAXSCALEDENOM 1000000
       BUFFER 5
       REPEATDISTANCE 250
       PARTIALS FALSE
     END
   END

The mapfile is for contour lines and I want to label them and break the 
contour line by setting the labelploy to the MAP IMAGECOLOR so it 
becomes transparent. Only the above is making the label poly white and 
not transparent :(

How can I do this?
