Hi, I would like to request some enlightment regarding the way conflict resolution behaves during rendering of labels in geotools. the user guide mentions the following: conflictResolution(true): Enables conflict resolution (default, true) meaning no two labels will be allowed to overlap. Symbolizers with conflict resolution off are considered outside of the conflict resolution game, they don’t reserve area and can overlap with other labels.
what does the above means? Supposing that we have multiple layers and want in layer A labels always to be rendered. It is rational to set conflictResolution=false. All other layers i.e B*, C* have this flag set to true meaning they participate in conflict resolution. The fact that in A conflict is disabled means that during rendering of C and B A's label are completely ignored (consider as not existent)) or not? Is the rendering order of layers involved somehow in the process? I.e. if layer B is rendered after A will it consider the placement of A's labels or not? Based on some preliminary testing it seems that not is the case. Still is there some way or option to achieve this (that is A's label always rendered but subsequent rendered layers labels do not overlap with A's labels) or we need to alter completely the implementation? thanks in advanced
