[mapserver-users] Any trick to buffer labelpoly?

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi Steve,

That's not my problem, I just wondered if we could help the original poster. But the OP was clever enough to use a wide outline with the fill color and that probably gives a satisfactory result though not perfect. The wide line grows both outwards and inwards and the partial transparency is not perfect where the fill meets the outline. And when a  colored outline is widened it starts to paint over the label text.

Looks like there were some new responses on the post referenced. Will those work for you? Otherwise we'd have to re-think the label poly geomtranform to either allow an argument or be embedded in a more complex expression.

Can anybody suggest a trick or workaround?
