labelingInfo

The labelingInfo object specifies the label definition for a layer.

Properties

Property	Details
allowOverrun	Specifies whether or not a label can overrun the geometry feature being labeled. Only applicable to labels for lines or polygons.
deconflictionStrategy	Specifies the approach to use for deconflicting labels with this class. The option 'none' allows overlapping labels, the option 'static' treats placement as fixed positions and will not move a label to allow other labels to be places, and the option 'dynamic' allows for label movement from the specified position to optimize the number of placed labels. If property is present, must be one of the following values: `none` `static` `dynamic`
labelExpression	This read-only web map property allows formatting of labels. Use labelExpressionInfo instead.
labelExpressionInfo	This object allows label text to be read similar to that of the popupInfo's description property.
labelPlacement	This string property specifies the label placement with respect to that of its feature. A list of label placement values categorized by feature geometry types. If property is present, must be one of the following values: `esriServerPointLabelPlacementAboveCenter` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementBelowCenter` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementCenterCenter` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementAboveLeft` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementBelowLeft` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementCenterLeft` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementAboveRight` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementBelowRight` `esriServerPointLabelPlacementCenterRight` `esriServerLinePlacementAboveAfter` `esriServerLinePlacementAboveStart` `esriServerLinePlacementBelowAfter` `esriServerLinePlacementBelowStart` `esriServerLinePlacementCenterAfter` `esriServerLinePlacementCenterStart` `esriServerLinePlacementAboveAlong` `esriServerLinePlacementAboveEnd` `esriServerLinePlacementBelowAlong` `esriServerLinePlacementBelowEnd` `esriServerLinePlacementCenterAlong` `esriServerLinePlacementCenterEnd` `esriServerLinePlacementAboveBefore` `esriServerLinePlacementBelowBefore` `esriServerLinePlacementCenterBefore` `esriServerPolygonPlacementAlwaysHorizontal`
lineConnection	Specifies the approach to use for connecting line labels with this class. The option 'none' specifies that line connection should not be performed. The option 'minimizeLabels' connects lines through intersections while 'unambiguousLabels' allows for labels on sides of intersections to clarify ambiguity with label and feature relationships. If property is present, must be one of the following values: `none` `unambiguousLabels` `minimizeLabels`
maxScale	Represents the maximum scale at which the layer definition will be applied.
minScale	Represents the minimum scale at which the layer definition will be applied.
multiPart	Specifies the approach to use for labeling parts and segments of geometries. If property is present, must be one of the following values: `labelPerSegment` `labelPerPart` `labelPerFeature` `labelLargest`
name	The name of the label class.
priority	The priority of the label class relative to other label classes. Numbers are positive with 0 being the most important and higher numbers being less important.
removeDuplicates	Specifies whether or not to remove duplicates and if removing duplicate labels whether or not to do it within just this label class, within all labels of that feature type (e.g. point layers) or across all layers. The removeDuplicatesDistance is used when a value other than none is set. If property is present, must be one of the following values: `none` `labelClass` `featureType` `all`
removeDuplicatesDistance	The screen distance in points to remove duplicates within. The value 0 is a special value and indicates to remove duplicates for the entire extent.
repeatLabel	A boolean value indicating whether or not to repeat the label along the feature. If true, the label will be repeated according to the repeatLabelDistance.
repeatLabelDistance	The repeat label distance used when repeatLabel is true. It represents a screen distance in points.
stackAlignment	This string property indicates whether or not to derive stacking from the text symbol or have dynamic stacking based on the relative position of the label to the feature. If property is present, must be one of the following values: `textSymbol` `dynamic`
stackLabel	Boolean value indicating whether or not to stack labels for this label class.
symbol	The text symbol used to label.
useCodedValues	Boolean value indicating whether to display the coded values for the specified field name(s).
where	String template used to determine which features to label.
