[OpenLayers-Users] Mapserver labels

Mon Aug 28 15:57:18 CDT 2006

Greetings,

  How does OpenLayers/Mapserver/WMS deals with labels? I made some tests 
today and I realized that image tiles can bring undesired effects to 
Mapserver labels. As a result, each tile has it's own labels. The 
resulting map is crowded of useless and croped pieces of labels.

  Is there a workaround for this situation? I read something about 
Ka-Map being an alternative for Mapserver deficiences related with 
tiling. Is this a situation that ka-map solves?

  I have other question, this time a Google Map question. Is it possible 
to have to layers, one Mapserver WMS and other Google Maps in the same 
map? I wrote a test code and it seems I can only have one of these. The 
code is bellow :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <script src="http://openlayers.org/api/2/OpenLayers.js"></script>
  <script 
src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=ABQIAAAAa3W6Wyz6M2grTpO8gp_f-xQyfmQrqwatIbt26NwwjFlL5q1_BRTeFkmJfyZiYU5zHNCsECyPQIFv-A" 
type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript"></script>
  <title>Teste OpenLayers</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" id="map"></div>
  <script defer="defer" type="text/javascript">
    var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
    var gmapLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Google("map");
    var wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("OpenLayers WMS", 
"http://dgtad.dti.digitro.com.br:8080/mapserver_wms/wms", {layers: 
'rio_grande_do_sul,limite_municipal'} );
    map.addLayer(wms);
    map.addLayer(gmapLayer);
    map.zoomToMaxExtent();
  </script>
</body>
</html>

That's it, best regards and thanks in advance.
