[Geoserver-users] Label Placements in CSS styling module

Am I overlooking something or is there no way to displace my road
labels in a CSS generated style?

If it is missing where should I look for the code so I can see if I can add it?

Cheers

I pulled the code for the actual translation process into the geoscript Scala variant a month or so ago, so it’s hosted on github with the rest of that project. However, I don’t think you’ll need to dig into it just yet since displacement is there but undocumented.

For a line placement with offset:

  • {

label: [foo];

label-offset: 10px;

}

For a point placement with anchor point, offset and rotation:

  • {

label: [foo];

label-offset: 10px 10px;

label-anchor: 25% 25%;

label-rotation: 45deg;

}

If you’re still itching to provide a patch, this is missing from the documentation. All of these properties should be included in the main properties list at http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/community/css/properties.html; a patch for the Sphinx sources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - I'll look at the docs when I get a free moment.
