====== Dataset Legend : Labels ====== A Label is the "Text display" of one Attribute Value. \\ Labels and [[203:desktop:dataset:legend:pie_chart:index|PieCharts]] are the Legend Layout Component. {{orbit_desktop:entrance_icon_2.png?nolink&25 |}} [[203:desktop:dataset:legend:index|Legend Editor]] > Labels ===== Label Setup ===== {{ label_setup.png?nolink |}} Activate labeling and its options "Resolve Collisions" and "Dynamic Positions". \\ Select the attribute of which its value needs to be displayed. === Attribute Value === Some data formats (like [[203:technology:supported_formats:vector:ovf|*.ovf]] and [[203:technology:supported_formats:vector:ovt|*.ovt]]) may support multiple values for one object attribute. If so, only the first value will be displayed. === Resolve Collisions === Labels may overlap each other. The option "Resolve Collisions" will hide a label if it overlaps another label. Calculating overlaps may take some time, it is advised to use this option in combination with [[203:desktop:dataset:legend:general_settings|Layout Scale Range Limits]] to avoid slow map rendering. | No Collision Resolving | Resolve Collision | | {{label_coldyn_col_false.png?nolink&300|}} | {{label_coldyn_col_true.png?nolink&300|}} | === Dynamic Positions === Labels are displayed referred to the center of the entire object which might be outside the current Map view. The option "Dynamic positioning" will re-position the label in the center of the on Map view visible part of the object. | No Dynamic positioning | Dynamic Positioning | | {{label_coldyn_dyn_false.png?nolink&300|}} | {{label_coldyn_dyn_true.png?nolink&300|}} | ===== Label Appearance ===== === Label Font === {{ label_text_font.png?nolink& |}} Select and set the font appearance. * The listed fonts are retrieved from the Operating System. * Text appears default ''Regular'', options are available to display **Bold** and/or //italic//. * Select a color from a pallet or pick a color from the Map using the Color Picker, see [[203:desktop:dataset:legend:parameters:color|]]. * Set the size, see [[203:desktop:dataset:legend:parameters:size|]]. === Label Style === Set the Label context : Text only, Text in Box (Squared / Round), Text in Callout (Squared / Round) * Select the Box and Callout Fill and Outline Color if applicable using the Color Picker. === Label Transparency == Set the Label transparency from opaque to completely transparent. === Label Orientation === Set the absolute rotation of the Label or its rotation related to the Object's shape (for line objects only). * Orientation types : "Absolute" available for point, line and area objects, "Relative" and "Curved" only for line objects. \\ When using "Curved" a label will be displayed only if the it fits within the object length. | Absolute (horizontal) | Relative | Curved | | {{:orbit_desktop:datasets:legend:label_text_orientation_absolute.png?nolink&250}} | {{:orbit_desktop:datasets:legend:label_text_orientation_relative.png?nolink&250}} | {{:orbit_desktop:datasets:legend:label_text_orientation_curv.png?nolink&250}} | === Label Hotspot === Set the relative position of Object and Label and, if not centered, its offset. Default the label is placed in the object's center. The user interface hotspot circle might be a little confusing as it defines the relation of the Object to the Label, the center of the circle represents the center of the Label, the selected circle position the Object. | {{label_text_hotspot_central_h.png?nolink&150|}} | {{label_text_hotspot_above_h.png?nolink&150|}} | {{label_text_hotspot_under_h.png?nolink&150|}} | | {{label_text_hotspot_central_m.png?nolink&250|}} | {{label_text_hotspot_above_m.png?nolink&250|}} | {{label_text_hotspot_under_m.png?nolink&250|}} | === Label Halo === Set a Label background Halo (Color and Transparency) to improve the readability of Labels of style "Text", see above "Label Style". | {{label_text_halo_e_line_0.png?nolink&250|}} | {{label_text_halo_e_line_1.png?nolink&250|}} | === Label Shadow === Set a Label background Shadow, see [[203:desktop:dataset:legend:parameters:shadow|]]. === Label Content === Special settings for decimal attribute values or attributes that refer to an image. * Set the number of decimals to be displayed (Attributes of type Float, see [[203:desktop:dataset:contents:structure|]]). * Render as image or thumbnail (Attributes holding Image Url, see [[203:desktop:dataset:contents:naming|]]).
