Are there definitive statements somewhere in the mapserver/mapscript documentation on whether/how multiple labels, with their own string content, color, font, placement, etc., can ALL be simultaneously displayed on each placed feature within a layer? I've seen some hints that this can be done, but the infrastructure does not seem to support it.
I'm doing some rather 'brittle' things with php-mapscript ShapeObj, and it appears my attempts to do multiple things with Labels and Classes results in the last such action effectively overwriting previous actions on the same ShapeObj. So I want between zero and four labels to appear per feature, but only one does. Really, I'm just trying to display multiple symbols, between zero and five per polygon feature, depending on client app params, and that basically works, BUT it does not appear that symbol placement exploits the scheme used in label placement where the polygon centroid is rejected as placement point if said centroid is not within polygon. Any suggestions or doc refs appreciated, Thanks, Robert H
