Interface IMaplexPlacedLabel

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

IMaplexPlacedLabelProxy, MaplexPlacedLabel

public interface IMaplexPlacedLabel
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that define a placed label created by Maplex Overposter.

Description

A MaplexPlacedLabel represents a single placed, or unplaced, label produced by the label placement process.

Remarks

Note that if the label was unplaced, it shares the same characteristics as a placed label, except its status is ‘unplaced’ and its position is set at the best found, which usually contains some overlap with other labels or a contorted label baseline.
