I don't think the overlapping halos is a problem, I just wasn't sure if you meant to account for them in the label overlapping algorithm. Now that I've read your responses I don't think you tweaked the original JUMP algorithm at all, so it makes sense that the halos are ignored during label confli

Larry, Please see my comments below. Larry wrote: "Scale labels with the zoom level is a basic Label Style feature of JUMP. I didn't write it or change it." I figured that might be the case. I wasn't sure what part of the label style had been modified. My apologies for comments that didn't appl

Halos are a device to improve the readability of text. If they overlap enough to obscure the text, then I need to fix it. Larry On 8/24/07, Sunburned Surveyor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Larry, > > One more little thing that I noticed. The conflict resolution doesn't > seem to apply to the halo

Larry, One more little thing that I noticed. The conflict resolution doesn't seem to apply to the halos, which can overlap, only to the actual label text. I'm not sure if this is what you intended. Landon On 8/24/07, Sunburned Surveyor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Larry, > > I was able to test

Larry, I was able to test out your new label style for a few minutes today on my lunch break. Here is the promised feedback: [1] I'm a little confused about how the "Scale labels with the zoom level." check box works. It seems like the labels DID scale with the viewport properly when this box WAS

Dear Stefan I sort of take the view that plugins are a way of testing ideas before they are committed to the core. This was partially behind my idea to run the small survey -(which btw has only had 20 or so responses) that might identify widely used/required functionality. Personally I would

Hi Geoff, I've played around with offset distance and HTML formatting on labels too. Perhaps we'll get there. I am changing the code base a little at a time to judge the response and keep backward compatibility with project files. regards, Larry Becker On 8/23/07, Geoffrey G Roy <[EMAIL PRO

Dear Larry I am pleased to see an interest in improving the label style. In my vertexsymbol plugin I have created an additional label option that has a range of formatting options, like centre, and 8 compass positions from the vertex. It is also possible to set the offset distance (in my case
