Dialog description

Option Description

Object Type

Dropdown of all the available object types.

Select the type of object for which labels are to be customised.

Field

Dropdown of all of the fields relevant to the selected Object Type.

(Note that SQL expressions created via the Layer Theme Editor will also be available in the list.)

Selecting a field from this dropdown and clicking Insert Field will add the field name within brackets to the existing text in the Label Text box.

Label Text (use {fieldname} for value)

Type in the text to be displayed in the object label. Entering a field name within curly brackets will display the value of the field entered in the label.

Multiple lines of text can be typed in the Label Text box simply by using the Enter key. If link labels are to be aligned with the link, rather than displayed horizontally, then multi-line text is displayed on one line.

Note

If there is no entry in the Label Text box, the Object ID will be displayed in the label.

Override font and range settings

Check this option to override the font and range settings configured in the Autolabels and Tooltips page of the GeoPlan Properties dialog.

Selecting this option enables the Font and Visible Range sections of the dialog (see below).

Font

Select the font and size for the auto labels.

Visible Range
