The labeling code does a little bit of moving labels around (ie. grouping) but it also has control as to stopping labels from overlapping. I'm currently testing all this out and writing documentation - hopefully available at the end of the week.
This leads to a problem because the PointSymbolizer *always* puts a point on the map for every single input geometry. The labeling code is a bit trickier - not every point will be labeled (actually you can control this behavior; but putting 100,000 labels on a map is crazy) and it may choose a slightly different location (and rotation) than the PointSymbolizer. This means that your PointSymbolizer and TextSymbolizer are 'out of alignment' (and the specification acknowledges this). This is a *major* pain the bum. The patch that was submitted tries to put them back in alignment + add new functionality by putting a PointSymbolizer-like "thing" INSIDE the TextSymbolizer so they are rendered simultaneously and remain in alignment. dave ---------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: https://webmail.limegroup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
