Label Font

The font specified for labels can be specified using a Feature Type, specified in the layer options, or set for individual objects using the Digitizer Edit option in Modify Feature Info to specify an individual custom style. There also global default labels set in Configuration.

Select Label Font...

This opens a dialog for configuring the label properties for the Feature, including Font, background, relative position, size, and rotation.

Font

Select the font to use for the label. The list will populate with available system fonts. See also Labels Configuration for default font face and character set.

Effects

Specify text effects, including a halo around the text, a specific font color, or strikeout and underline effects.

Script

Specify the script to use for the label. The available options are dependent on the selected font.

Label Background Fill Mode

Specify how to fill the background for the labels. This setting is overridden by a halo effect.

Label Position Relative to Point Feature

Specify how the label is placed relative to the point anchor. The Automatic setting will relocate labels with movement and zoom in order to declutter and reduce label overlap.

Always Display Label if any Labels are Displayed

Objects with this label setting checked will maintain priority during label decluttering.

Display Labels using this Font at a Fixed Height in Meters

Use this setting to specify labels in a size relative to a ground unit size, rather than a font size. The labels will shrink and grow when zooming, to always maintain the same geographic scale. This setting can be particularly useful for reference features, such as labels of background area boundaries.

Rotate Labels

Specify the angle to rotate the labels.
