You could always mine the C code in MapServer... David.

Dear geowankers, I am writing a Flash web mapping algorithm, and we need a map labeling algorithm. I was hoping that you folks might be able to point me in the right direction. Here are our top requirements: 1. Fast. 2. Easy to implement and understand. (I would like to minimize the amount of effort I spend learning about map labeling.) Other requirements: 1. Currently just needs to label the transportation network; later, point and area features too. 2. Decent results. (Good/great is not necessary - we can make it better later.) 3. Doesn't need to work at small scales, say less than 1:24k or so (we will punt to MapServer for rendering for scales below a certain threshold). 4. Must be able to expand the map without needing to relabel everything. (I.e., panning into a new area means just labeling the new stuff.) Does this make sense? I am a newbie in this area, so please feel free to ask follow-up questions. Any ideas about where I should look would be very welcome.
