MapTextStyler

Prepares features for labelling by the MapTextLabeller by specifying no-label zones around features.

Note: Can be used in conjunction with MapTextLabeller.

Input Ports

ClosedInput

Features that are to have no-label zones specified.

Output Ports

ClosedOutput

Features that have the no-label zone specified.

Parameters

Label-Free Zone

ClosedMeasurement Units

The units that the various sizes and widths are specified in.

The last three choices (Centimeters, Inches and Points) are page units, and are interpreted differently than the Ground Units choice.

Point Symbol Zone

ClosedPoint Symbol Size

Specifies the size of any point feature symbols to prevent labels from overlapping.

ClosedFont Name

Specifies the Windows font name of the point symbol.

ClosedFont Character Index

Specifies the index in the font of the point symbol.

ClosedFont Character Angle

Specifies the rotation angle of the point symbol, measured in degrees counter-clockwise from horizontal.

Line Zone

ClosedLine Width

Specifies the width of the zone around any linear features in which no labels will be allowed. For example if 5 units are specified, then no labels will be present within 2.5 units of each side of the line.

Polygon Boundary Zone

ClosedPolygon Line Width

Specifies the width of the zone around the boundary of any area features in which no labels will be allowed. For example if 5 units are specified, then no labels will be present within 2.5 units of each side of the boundary line.

Usage Notes

All parameters are optional. Typically one instance of this transformer is placed for each group of features to be labelled by the MapTextLabeller.

Editing Transformer Parameters

Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter.
