Steve, A little more research . . . it looks like the correct way to approach this is with a Voronoi Polygon set like:
http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=postgresql_plr_tut02 The problem there though, it that the LEADER function looks like it will auto-anchor at the polygon centroid, not what I was looking for, instead of the actual point I want it to grab. Hmm, I wonder how a simple bounding box approach to each point would work. There would be overlapping polygons with this approach, but it might work ok . . .

Bob, The offset lable with a leader will only be attempted if there is a collision with and existing label that requires moving the label to place it on the image. -Steve W On 6/11/2013 2:14 PM, Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) wrote: > All, > > Hello, I've been reading up a bit on 6.2.? and was wondering if anyone > had a sample of the LABEL/LEADER line mapfile that I could start > experimenting from. > > I want to do something like a billboard label with a leader line to > some POINT locations. > > I tried some real quick tests based on the docs for LEADER, but didn't > get any leader lines to appear.
