Hi,

Anyone here have a sense for how Mapnik prioritizes the rendering of  
text labels that may conflict with one another?

I have a map with a series of towns on it, some of them major and some  
minor. I would like for the major town labels to generally crowd out  
the minors town labels, but I'm often seeing situations where the  
reverse occurs.

The major town labels are drawn with a larger font size than the minor  
town labels. I've tried adjusting layer order so that majors come  
before minors, and vice versa, but I still see cases where a crowd of  
small labels are drawn in place of one big one.

Is there a way to explicitly or implicitly set rendering priority for  
crowds of text labels?

I'm using Mapnik 0.5, build on Debian, and all of my data is coming  
from PostGIS.

-mike.
