Add more KML labeling options
-----------------------------
Key: GEOS-736
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-736
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Brent Owens
Assigned To: brock anderson
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4.x
Add an option to allow for people to specify whether they want their textsymbolizer to display the name as the label on the map or as the description or both.
This can be a vendor option in SLD, something like <vendorOption textScope="label">
Where textScope can be: label, description, both.
"A comparison of a few legitimate requests:
* I want the label to be shown in the map (current behaviour)
* I want the label used as the kml description, but not the label around, in every layer (that may be something
that a global variable of some kind could achieve)
* I want both (another global setting would do)
* I want the label used as kml description, but only in a few layers, in others I want only the label,
in others both (here we need a map of options, one setting for each layer)
* I want to choose based on the feature attributes (now I'm being picky, I know).
An extra setting on the symbolizers in SLD would allow to handle all cases,
a global one out of sld just the first two..."
