Detailed Description

Command to draw labels for a feature.

It is mandatory to specify at least the following: The anchor geometry to which the label is attached The label content

Label content

The label content can be A single line of text: see text(std::string) Multiple lines text: see text(std::vector<std::string>,HorizontalAlignment alignment) A text block: see text(TextBlock) An icon: see icon

It is mandatory to call at least one of these methods. If not, an exception will be thrown when submitting this label draw command. If these methods are called multiple times, only the last one is used. Label positions

It is possible to explicitly specify a label position. This can be done using one of the following methods: the pointPositions method: to anchor a label to a Point geometry the onPath method: to place a label along a line the inPath method: to place a label inside an area

If these methods are called multiple times, only the last one is used. If none of these methods is called, a default label positions is chosen using the LabelDrawCommand::anchor geometry. Label decluttering

Labels that are added using this class are automatically decluttered: Multiple label locations are tried to avoid overlapping labels Labels for which no good location can be found (i.e. that would always overlap with an other label) are dropped.

See the related guide for a more extensive overview of the labeling API. 2020.2

Member Function Documentation

Anchor()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.Anchor ( Luciad.Geometries.Geometry  anchor )

inline

Sets the anchor of the label.

This property is mandatory.

anchor

the anchor of the label, cannot be nullptr.

this

luciad::NullArgumentException

if the anchor is nullptr.

Warning

AnchorDraped()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.AnchorDraped ( bool  draped )

inline

Specify whether the anchor is draped or not.

If this method is not invoked, the draping status will be the same as when rendering the anchor: if all Z components equal to 0, draping is enabled and the label will be on the ground. Otherwise, the label will be placed at anchor elevation.

draped

whether the anchor is draped or not.

Dispose()

void Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.Dispose ( )

Icon()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.Icon ( Luciad.Drawing.IIcon  icon )

inline

Sets the icon to use for the label.

This property is optional, though it is mandatory that at least one method is used to specify the label content. See the class documentation for more info.

icon

the icon to use for the label, cannot be nullptr

this

luciad::NullArgumentException

when the icon is nullptr.

InPath()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.InPath ( )

inline

Configure the LabelDrawCommand to paint the label inside the anchor.

The anchor is used as follows: The anchor must be a closed ring or a surface, or contain one. If it's not the case, an exception is thrown in the submit method. If the anchor is a multi geometry, only the biggest one is considered. If the anchor is an extruded one, the base geometry is considered. If the anchor is a Patch, the base geometry is considered. For other geometries, the label is positioned in such a way that it's inside the anchor geometry.

Calling this method is optional. See LabelDrawCommand for more information. this LabelDrawCommand

Warning

LabelGroup()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.LabelGroup ( Luciad.Layers.Features.LabelGroup  labelGroup )

inline

Set the LabelGroup for label decluttering.

A label declutter group is a collection of labels that are positioned independently from other label declutter groups. I.e. labels from one group will never affect labels from other groups. This also means that labels from different groups are allowed to overlap.

labelGroup

declutter group for this label. See LabelGroup for more information.

OnPath() [1/2]

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.OnPath ( Luciad.Layers.Styles.OnPathLabelStyle  onPathLabelStyle )

inline

Configure the LabelDrawCommand to position a single label along a line.

Depending on how the given OnPathLabelStyle is configured, it can be located somewhere along the line, but also within the view extent at a specific location along the line, for example exactly in the middle

When this method is called, the anchor must be a Curve. If an anchor is specified that is not supported by this labeling method, an exception will be thrown when the label command is submitted. Calling this method is optional. See LabelDrawCommand for more information.

onPathLabelStyle

specifies all parameters needed to place the label at a specific location along the line, cannot be nullptr.

OnPath() [2/2]

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.OnPath ( Luciad.Layers.Styles.PathLabelPosition  verticalPosition, double  additionalVerticalOffset  )

inline

Configure the LabelDrawCommand to position a single label along a line.

The label will also be placed within the view extent if possible. When this method is called, the anchor must be a Curve or consist of one in case of: MultiGeometry ExtrudedGeometry Patch CompositePatch

Also Bounds geometries are supported. If an anchor is specified that is not supported by this labeling method, an exception will be thrown when the label command is submitted. Calling this method is optional. See LabelDrawCommand for more information.

verticalPosition

specifies where the label is placed wrt to a position on the line.

additionalVerticalOffset

an additional perpendicular offset from the position on the line at which a label will be placed. This offset is expressed in pixels. If the value is positive, the label position is moved away from the line. If the value is negative, the label positions is moved towards the line. There is no maximum limit to the negative values, but keep in mind that large negative values will push the label to the opposite side of the line. The default offset is 0.

PinStyle()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.PinStyle ( Luciad.Layers.Styles.PinStyle  pinStyle )

inline

This method enables pins for labels and defines their styling.

By default, there's no pin for labels. Pins are only supported when a label is attached to a point. No pin will be painted when onPath or inPath label positioning is used.

pinStyle

the styling for the pin. See PinStyle::newBuilder. This property is optional. By default, there's no pin for labels.

PointPositions()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.PointPositions ( System.Collections.Generic.IList< Luciad.Drawing.RelativePosition >  positions )

inline

Specifies the possible positions to place a Point label.

If the anchor is not a point geometry, an exception is thrown in the submit method. Calling this method is optional. See LabelDrawCommand for more information.

positions

the possible positions for a point label. If empty, an exception is thrown.

luciad::InvalidArgumentException

Priority()

Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand Luciad.Layers.Features.FeatureCanvas.LabelDrawCommand.Priority ( Luciad.Containers.Priority  priority )

inline

Sets the priority that is used to determine the order in which labels are placed.

Using a high priority will make it more likely for a label to be placed. Using a low priority will make it more likely for the label to be omitted during label placement, because other labels with a higher priority may already occupy its space.

Label priorities work across layers. This means that it is possible to give a high priority to a label, regardless of where the layer is located in the Map's LayerList. This property is optional. The default is Priority::normal().

priority

the priority for this label
