Symbol and Diagram Labeling

Symbols, diagrams or lines generated by analyses can be labeled depending on the data. The labeling is displayed near the symbols or lines so that a unique reference is given.

A special case is the Label analysis: Here the caption is used to define the wording of the displayed texts.

Depending on the analysis type, you can use the columns from the table that you selected for the analysis in order to label the symbols. For a location based analysis the Area Properties are not available. For area based analysis you can also use the standard labels of the respective area (geographical data)

Note: For area based analyses you can also access the standard labels of the respective area (geographical data).

Insert Labels

To label symbols, diagrams or other analysis outputs, open their properties via the contents control window. There is a separate area called symbol text, diagram text or line labeling depending on the analysis.

In the input field under user defined labelling the content of the text is compiled. This can be composed of constant text elements and, via macros, of variable texts from geographic data and other data.

• If you want to insert the name or number of the area to which the diagram or symbol refers, select the corresponding column via the Text Macros > Area Properties button.
• Under Text macros > Data you may select a column from the table the analysis is a based on. If necessary navigate to the desired aggregation mode. If there is no data for a symbol or diagram in the column, the text is inserted as specified at Missing Data.
• If you want constant texts to be placed under each symbol or diagram, you can enter them directly in the field below User-defined label .

Label Styling

The style of the texts can be changed for better readability in the map. For example, it is possible to apply a light background or border color to the text.

The following settings are available:

Common
Label Location	Here you can specify where the label is to be positioned in relation to the reference object. You can select the positions top left, top right, top right, top right, bottom right, bottom left, bottom left, left and central by clicking in the corresponding field.
Font
Font Type and Color	Set here the font and size as well as the font color.
Effect
Type	No Effect: The text is displayed normally. Shadow: The text is displayed with a drop shadow. Outline: A wider border ("contour") is drawn around the edges of the letters.
Text box
Fill Color	Enter a color for the text background - via the color selection field or directly as HTML color value.
Border Color	Specifies the color in which the frame around an object is to be drawn. You can specify the color using the color selection field or directly as HTML color value. If no color is specified, no frame is displayed.

Changing the position of individual symbol and diagram labels

If you want to change the position of one or more symbol or diagram texts, these must first be selected in the map. Then open the Properties of the selected objects from the context menu.

• In the Style section you can specify a different alignment of the (Default) Text Position.
