Tb, OK, good to know. I’ll see what I can come up with as far as making something work then.

There is no limit on layer types. However a leader line/offseted label is rejected if the line intersects a label-cached feature. -- tb On 11 June 2013 20:39, Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: All, Oops,nevermind, I figured out my problem, they are only supported on POLYGON layers (huh??? Why the limit?). Hmm, I suppose I could fake a POLYGON type in the output. The data is all point based in PostGIS, So I could use an Envelope query of some sort I suppose, but I expect a performance hit there of some sort. Hmm, I'll need to think about this some more . . . I wonder why only POLYGONS are supported? Seems odd.

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.
