I've now got labels on my maps when zoomed out but my polygons have no labels if I zoom in away from the label location.
I'm using: PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=True" Is this a fixable problem? Are there any examples of getting labels with mapserver and openlayers using tiles and multiple overlay layers? I'm still experimenting but still confused. Any help would be appreciated.

Donald, How does the change to "TYPE POINT" work for polygon shapes or do you just change that to "TYPE POLYGON" and only have a label in the "CLASS" block? I'm still confused on how to manage labels on multiple overlay layers. That may be a long term project for my application. I was hoping for a simple solution. I did figure out that putting PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=True" in my layer fixed some of my problems of multiple labels with many clipped.

Worth, I have replaced "TYPE ANNOTATION" with "TYPE POINT" and all is working well. As for tiling and labels, I have not found a satisfactory solution at all and have accepted that I am getting partial labels or no labels it the label starts in another tile - See here: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/4284 What I have done is offered an option of "Single Tile" for users so that they can switch between tiled and not. The tiled option gives a better OpenLayers slippy map experience but the single tile option allows for accurate and complete labelling.

Hi all, I'm changing my usage of mapserver from a single map image to using OpenLayers and having MapServer work as a WMS server. My problem is labels. There seem to be too many variables (in MapServer and OpenLayers) and I cannot figure out which to set to keep from having partial labels, too many labels or overlapping labels. What is the best way to approach labels in a tiled / overlay environment. I noticed that in MapServer 6.0 the "annotation" layer type is deprecated. What is the method for replacing this? In summary, I'm LOST. Anyone with a map, please point me in the right direction. :-) Thanks, Worth _____ No virus found in this message.
