POSITION AUTO bug with SYMBOL

[woodbri]

I have the following CLASS definition for labeling a polygon with a symbol and text. It behaves correctly with POSITION UL|CL|LL|LC|LR|CR|UR|UC but places the text on the the SYMBOL if I use POSITION AUTO.

    LAYER
        NAME "area_landmarks"
        TYPE POLYGON
        TILEINDEX "tidx-AREALM"
        PROJECTION
            "+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83" #EPSG: 4269
        END
  MAXSCALEDENOM 2500000
  CLASSITEM "MTFCC"
  LABELITEM "FULLNAME"
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /^K2561/ # Golf
    STYLE
      COLOR "#C9DFAF"
    END
    LABEL
      STYLE
        SYMBOL "golf"
        SIZE 24
      END
      MAXSCALEDENOM 200000
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT "sans"
      SIZE 7
      COLOR "#24471C"
      OUTLINECOLOR "#E5F0D8"
      PARTIALS FALSE
      MINDISTANCE 250
      MINFEATURESIZE 10
      BUFFER 4
      POSITION AUTO # UL|CL|LL|LC|LR|CR|UR|UC all work:
      PRIORITY 4
      WRAP " "
      ALIGN CENTER
    END
  END
END

I have attache an image showing the placement of the symbols and text for the various cases.

for polygon type layers, the first position tried is CC, which is why you're seeing collisions. We should adapt the code so that CC is not the default position if a marker is also defined.

[woodbri]

yes, I would agree with that. This only impacts POSITION AUTO so if we skip CC with a marker it should work great like the manual test cases.

r13279 probably fixes this, but I have not tested. please close if ok.

Thomas,

Here is a mapfile I built for testing the label position with a symbol. You might want to add it to msautotest stuff.

map
  name "label-position-auto"
  status on
  size 300 300
  extent 0 0 300 300

    FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON"

    FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
  end

  symbol

    points 1 1 end

trunk looks good this your checkin. Closing this as fixed.
