Ian,

Hmmm, I was told you couldn't do this when I asked about the same thing a couple of months ago.

I had asked about a way to label arbitrarily just like inserting a SCALE in the lower Right corner, but there didn't seem to be a way to do it at the time. I recall putting in a bug I think.

I would be interested in the results if you find a way to do this.

How do you dynamically place text (eg. a copyright notice) in the bottom
left corner of the map using the mapsize attributes? For the copyright I am
using:

LAYER
  #
  # COPYRIGHT
  #
  NAME copyright
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TRANSFORM FALSE
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  FEATURE
    POINTS
      10 600
    END
    TEXT '© 2006 Me'
  END
  CLASS
    LABEL
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT tahoma_bold
      SIZE 8
      ANTIALIAS TRUE
      COLOR 255 255 255
      FORCE TRUE
    END
  END
END # LAYER

So in the FEATURE POINTS section I need something like 10 %mapsize.height%-5
but haven't found any examples of people doing this. Thank you.
