Dear Andrea,

thank you for clearing it up for me. As you'd might guess, my company is interested in the "drawImmediately" vendor option. So we either code it ourselves or we will fund core developers, depending on time/money costs. Do you remember if this feature was discussed among developers before? Who and where should I ask about GeoServer developers' time and money estimates?

Regards,

Peter Kovac

    It seems to me all graphics are rendered first and all labels are

    What can I do about it?

    I tried using shapes from SLD styles but I need to use more than one
    shape for every feature. GeoServer renders multiple shapes centered
    around anchor point and there is no possibility to use
    Displacement for
    graphic (AFAIK it's possible only with text labels). That's why I use
    ExternalGraphic, I need to show all shapes side by side.


Displacement for graphics is supported in recent versions of GeoServer (since 2.7
I believe).

About the ability to avoid drawing all labels at the end, it has been discussed, in normal situation it just breaks maps big time, as the WMS user can compose
them in any order they want and labels need to stay on top to be legible,
but we understand there are cases in which this might not be desirable (for
example when labels are not really labels, but more parts of symbols).

For this we'd need to add and code support for a new "drawImmediately" vendor option. So far no one has provided either their own coding time to make it a reality, or funding to allow core developers to add this features during working hours.
Maybe you could be the one? ;-)

Cheers
Andrea
