[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Label collision trouble

[Bruce Cheney]

Hello group.  I am having label collision trouble.  No matter what I  do
the labels seem to collide with each other.  I also have labels from
more than one layer colliding with each other. Obviously this makes the
map very difficult to read.  I have implemented caching and tried every
other combination of attributes I can think of.  Here is a label section
from a mapfile and a sample label collision.  Any suggestions? Thank you
for any help you give.
