Hi,
You can use an annotation layer with a symbol. Something like:
LAYER
NAME "labels"
TYPE ANNOTATION
DATA "/your/data/path/"
STATUS ON
LABELITEM "RD_NUM"
CLASS
NAME "road_numbers"
STYLE
SYMBOL 'rectangle'
COLOR 255 255 255
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 16
END
LABEL
TYPE TRUETYPE
ANTIALIAS TRUE
FONT "myfont"
SIZE 8
POSITION CC
COLOR 0 0 0
PARTIALS FALSE
END
END
END
and the symbol would be something like:
SYMBOL
NAME 'rectangle'
TYPE VECTOR
POINTS
0 0
0 14
25 14
25 0
0 0
END
FILLED TRUE
END

Hi,
Do you know how to write an outline on the roads label boxes, just
like the ones that Google Maps has? In Mapserver docs I only see an
outline for the letters and not for the background. Does Mapserver
support it?
You can see the labels (L2150, K2, K7) with white background and black
outline at:
http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&ll=50.764911,10.953197&spn=0.038979,0.11158&z=14

Thanks,
Nelson
