Mark, A simple solution sounds good as long as it can fit into a strategic plan (I don't really have a plan for improving the polygon labeling, just a desire!). On major releases of Mapserver I try to push the limits of its cartography by comparing its output to hand-composed pdfs of

Hello, Earlier in the year I had asked about forcing labels in their polygons. And another person mentioned the issue in September. At the time Steve W was concerned about complexity and performance in placing labels. I was thinking lately that maybe this topic could be revisited.

: [mapserver-users] Still impossible to force labels inside their polygons? Yes, still impossible. POSITION CC + MINFEATURESIZE AUTO will get you close. However, MINFEATURESIZE AUTO uses bounding box checks and doesn't intersect a feature geometry with its label geometry. Steve

Hello, I think many users would be able to take advantage of being able to force labels inside polygons. At the same time I realize that the current bounding box algorithm is fast. My question is could both be possible? Scenario One: It would be fastest to use a bounding box to creating

Hi Mark, Sure, options like this are just a matter of code. So you and Jukka should add to and existing ticket or create a new one as appropriate. https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/3948 The practical issue is getting someone to make that ticket a priority. Patches are welcome,

A little screenshot shows an example with two label points inside one polygon and one polygon without a label point at all. Perhaps we could have more accurate polygon label positioning
