I am trying to label symbols I have on my map. For example, I have a point in a lat/lon format that indicates where a cemetery is. Using point_symbolizer I can get the symbol where the cemetery is. However, I also want to label the cemetery. But since the location is a point, the label winds up under the symbol I have drawn.
I thought of using a shield_symbolize, but that puts the label through the middle of the symbol which obscures the symbols. In other words, if you look at the top image at mapnik.org, assuming the 'P' symbols are points, how could you label the symbols so they symbol and the label are readable? Or looking at openstreetmap at http://openstreetmap.com/?lat=44.97817&lon=-93.26898&zoom=16&layers=B0FT How do you define the settings to get the labels above the red dots?
