Steve,
I wonder if it would be possible/economical to extend the label cache
to have some kind of feature density "map"/weighted mask to help in
determining a preferred label location...
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Hi All
Is there a way in mapserver (6.0) to prevent labels appearing over a map
feature?
I have a highway and I want to prevent labels (town and other names from
other layers) sitting over the highway.
I guess something like Buffer in labels.
No, when you go to process a label it knows nothing about what
features have been rendered. I guess in theory you could add all the
features to the label cache. I guessing that to do this you would need
some keyword at the LAYER level to indicate that these features need
to be added to the label cache, but nothing exists today that would do
this.
You might want to open a ticket for an enhancement and paste the
cotent of your message and my response above into it.
