[Geoserver-users] reduce clipped labels at the edge of tiles

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hello,

I would like to reduce or hopefully eliminate the number of clipped labels on a tiled parcel map. Having a larger metatile helps, but does not eliminate the clipped parcels. I have also been trying to figure out what the best gutter settings are. Anyways, is there a way to eliminate clipped labels? If so, what are the recommended settings?

Thanks

GeoServer should never paint a label that is not fully contained in the requested area… so if you don’t specify gutters, you should
not get any clipped label.

Can you elaborate a bit about what you’re doing?

Cheers

Andrea,

In addition to removing the gutter, I found I needed to adjust “polygonAlign” from ortho to manual. Now the labels look great on tiled layers.

Thank You for your help.

Ah, the adjustment on “ortho” is unexpected. Can you open a bug report on jira.codehaus.org and maybe attach style and screenshots?
