It hasn't to date. The polygon orientation options look especially useful. However, it only supports 4 point locations though (MapServer does 9) and doesn't support curved label placement. On the surface there's a lot of overlap between PAL and the stock label placement code. Would be interesting to see the same map labeled by both for visual and speed comparisons.
I think any effort in this area would need to be spearheaded by a particularly interested user, organization and/or developer. If there were significant improvements demonstrated over the existing engine then that would help things. Steve >>> On 11/18/2009 at 2:55 PM, in message <[email protected]>, "G.
