BUFFER used to also expand the size of the billboard, but that's not
the case anymore. I don't think it's currently possible to expand the
billboard, although it should soon be possible to do so in the near
future (we can also imagine rounded rectangle billboards to).
(the following is slightly off-topic, bu at least it will be written
down somewhere to integrate in the migration guide)
we'll probably be removing backgroundcolor and backgroundshadowcolor,
and replace them with something like
LABEL
xxx
STYLE
GEOMTRANSFORM LABELPOLY #this is were other keywords would be
used for expanding the billboard
COLOR xxx #ex bgcolor
OUTLINECOLOR xxx
OFFSET 1 1 #use an offset for obtaining the same result as
backgroundshadowcolor
SYMBOL 'hatch' #let your imagination play
END
END

thomas
