[mapserver-users] connect label to features

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Luca,

The implemented leader label logic does not turn on leader lines for 
every point or feature.  (I believe this is what is causing the 
confusion, as reported by you and Bob)   I personally could see a new 
parameter in the LEADER object of "FORCE TRUE" being very useful, but 
that would take a champion to file a new ticket 
(https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues), create a small test 
case (use yours, but also include the symbolset and fonts that your 
mapfile references, so a developer can just execute shp2img 
out-of-the-box), and then nudge/test/give feedback throughout the whole 
development process.

Hope that explains more what is happening.
