Howdy,

Okay, quick and dirty. I produce rasters (PNG,TIF) sources for mapserver that have a time component. I would like to label these rasters on mapserver drawn images when somebody hits my WMS server or CGI mapserv apps. Labeling these with Mapscript is trivial, so I need hacks for CGI mapserv...

+ My current hack is to generate a bogus shapefile in image coordinates
  and dump the time stamp in there.  Then draw both the raster and
  shapefile. This is nasty IMHO...

I am probably missing something obvious here. I can't really do CGI variable substitution I think....

I would like to be able to write a XML metadata file when I generate the rasters and then have mapserv/gdal use that file to annotate the image.

Idears.  And yes, I am already doing this in mapscript. :)

thanks!
  daryl
