# Should I have to set these? Can they be made tranparent?
Yes. And Yes.
#c.label.backgroundcolor = mapscript.colorObj(255, 255, 255)
#c.label.outlinecolor = mapscript.colorObj(255, 255, 255)
They can be made transparent by supplying negative numbers for the R, G,
and B values.
c.label.backgroundcolor = mapscript.colorObj(-1, -1, -1)
c.label.outlinecolor = mapscript.colorObj(-1, -1, -1)
But I'm afraid that I don't have any insights into your other queries
(repeated below).

I'm also having to specify c.label.minsize and c.label.maxsize,
otherwise the labels come out just one or two pixels tall. It's like
there are some defaults that are assumed in the map file but that need
to be made explicit in the mapscript version.
Any insights appreciated,

P.S. I wonder if anyone has ever written a code generator that could
translate map file fragments (like a layer) to mapscript API calls? I'm
discovering doing it by hand is pretty tedious.
