Mapusers:

Good morning.  I've got some data exported from InfoCad which is point =
information with text and an angle (specifically its a parcel dimension =
layer).  The data seems to be triplicated (three records of the same =
data--though sometime more or less), unfortunately the data is not =
directly on top of one another but slightly off set. =20

The data in the .dbf file is not sequential, so its not realistic to =
just null out the text label in sequential passess of the data.

Does mapserver have anyway to use a first come first label, so that it =
wont look triple typed.  i.e. if a label already occupies the space, it =
will only get one label?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Steve Lehr
