Hi, Is there any easy way of distinguishing labels from the background? Some of the other open source GIS use halos, which is useful, but I can't find something equivalent in gvSIG.
What I am trying to do is identify site boundaries over aerial photos. I want to avoid large boxes as provided in the style section of the "label class properties" dialog, because I am trying to optimize the amount of image able to be seen (so people can orient themselves). As the background varies from brown to green to very light. I want a solution that works over the entire area without it being too onerous. My only solution was to create a labelgroup field in the layer attribute table - a default category was then allocated, in this case white writing 10m high. I then created a series of classes 10W, 10Y (for yellow), 5W, 5Y. I then reviewed each of the reserves being worked on and changed the label group to ensure the label fitted within the polygon and was contrasted against the background. Ideally, and I know I am pushing it here, the program should allow labels to be defined based on colour ranges of the background layers. -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, Victoria 3020.
