Label your maps with ease using the MapTextLabeller transformer in FME Form and Flow. Define your labels from Reader attributes and configure placement rules all in an intuitive user interface in FME Workbench. Incorporate the MapTextLabeller into your automated workflows and churn out your labels.
Labeller in Action
Create a MapTextLabeller transformer on your workbench, feed it some Readers, and send the output labels to GIS/CAD Writers or an Inspector transformer in no time.
Configure with Label Manager
Open the Label Manager to define the labels for features in each Reader. Decide for each Reader the priority that its labels be placed, whether its labels should be placed, and whether its features should be avoided from being overlapped.
Build a Point Label Rule
Choose where you want to position your label around a point feature symbol. Try one or more locations to find an available overlap free position. Try relaxing your constraints by allowing your label to be divided into more than one line, reducing your label’s font size, etc.
Build a Line Label Rule
Decide how you want your line feature label to be placed (conforming, tangent, etc), where to start searching for free space (Center, Start, or End), on which side you want your label placed (Above, Below, etc), and other placement properties.
Build an Area Label Rule
Choose whether to place your label solely inside the polygon horizontally, at the dominant angle of the polygon, partially outside of the polygon, fully outside of the polygon, or along the polygon’s boundary.
