Re: [udig-users] Label Priority

Hello Rorie,

Does anyone know how uDig determines label priority? I've tried to use multiple rules in the sld xml, first rule to draw larger cities, second to draw smaller ones, but uDig seems to prioritize the smaller cities regardless of the order of the rules. I've also tried using two layers, but the smaller cities are still drawn over the larger ones, even when the smaller cities layer is below the larger cities.

I think udig has its own label painter (with its own intelligence), and might be messing around with your style. But that's just a thought. Another thought is: sld is very complex, so your style might not be correct...

Anyway, you want to have a look at

http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/LabelingOptions

which has wonderful examples for what you're trying to do. I think it's mainly about vendor options, but the code is in geotools (thus in udig), so you should be able to profit from it. (Matter of fact, I've used vendor options writing designing my own styles with udig.)


Another question I have regarding label priority is if there is any way to define the label order by a layer's attributes, like (order by 'POPULATION' desc)?

Thanks in advance,

rorie

Cheers,

Ugo
