[Geoserver-users] Label Callouts

Hello everyone,

Can someone tell me if Geoserver supports automatic callout style labelling or whether there are plans to support it in the near future?

I’m talking about, at a simplistic level, using a line to link the label to the feature in the event that the label is moved a significant distance from the feature as a result of label placement/decluttering etc.

Thanks

Chris

It does not support it, I'm not aware of projects that will develop it in
my organization (don't know about others).
Of course it's possible to implement it given some targeted funding (or
your own work and a pull request).

Cheers
Andrea
