you're using an annotation layer here? I have found an issue if
that's the case. The decision
to using one set of positions vs another is made based on the layer
type NOT the geometry
type. So annotation layers are treated as point layers regardless of
the source geometry. As
the code sits now that information is lost. Wasn't an issue
previously since we didn't vary
things. I'll file a bug on this issue.
Let me know if this isn't the case for you.
Ohhhh. I've always used annotation layers for feature annotation.
But, if it always treats annotation layers as point layers, why does
ANGLE FOLLOW work on annotation layers of line features, or gravity
positioning on annotation of poly features? Or does that trigger
stepping out of the assumed-point default somehow?
I did notice when poking around in the source that the labelling
routines didn't know about the geometry of individual features. In my
own early (v4.4) attempts at reordering the positions for polys
(before the recent changes) I added a parameter to the addlabel()
functions to pass the shapetype.
One work around is to ditch annotation layers for polygons. They
really aren't necessary with
the addition of the label priority support in 5.0.
I'm not sure what you mean here - how does label priority invalidate
annotation layers?
