I am using the Java MapScript for my application and I would like to
present the option for the user to decide whether or not to show labels
for a given layer. Is there any way to turn the label for a layer on or
off dynamically? I didn't see anything obvious in the MapScript API.
Speaking from the world of PHP/Mapscript, with hopes that it's
applicable to your situation... Our solution is to set the label color
to something invalid, to suppress the rendering of labels, e.g.:
$class = $layer->getClassNyName('roads');
if (!$labels) {
$class->label->color->setRGB(-1,-1,-1);
}
