Re: [mapserver-users] Label backgroundcolor
Hi David, not sure, but have you tried using/increasing the BUFFER value of the label? Cheers, Michael 2010/11/18 Fawcett, David (MPCA) david.fawc...@state.mn.us: I know that you can set a shadow for the backgroundcolor (billboard). Can you increase the size of the billboard? E.g. 5 pixels all of the way around?

RE: [mapserver-users] Label backgroundcolor
Thanks Michael. BUFFER just does what I expected it to do. The labels are farther apart and one of them doesn't get drawn because there isn't room for it.

Re: [mapserver-users] Label backgroundcolor
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 regards, thomas On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 15:52, Fawcett, David (MPCA) david.fawc...@state.mn.us wrote: Thanks Michael.
