MAPublisher LabelPro Features

Intelligent Collision-Free Labelling MAPublisher^® LabelPro™ employs the EZ-Label technology from MapText Inc. Fast, efficient and customizable, it is the best cartographic labelling engine in the mapping industry today, and offers a complete rule-based system for collision-free text placement within MAPublisher and Adobe Illustrator. Save countless hours of tedious post-labeling refinement of your map labels with MAPublisher LabelPro.
Leader Lines Features are sometimes too small to fit a label in or around it. MAP LabelPro can automatically add leader lines to these features. Specify the ability to cross lines, the leader width and arrow style. Placement is clean and aesthetic.
	Angled Placement MAP LabelPro takes into consideration the dominant angle of a feature and places the label parallel to it.
Stacked Placement Stack long, one-line labels into multi-line labels. Works great on multiple word labels such as streets, points of interests and densely labelled areas.
	Offset Placement Place labels using an offset or on a centerline. Offset labels above or below a line. Vertical split option places multiple word labels above and below the line and relative to the center of the line. If the generated label only has one word, it will be placed on the suppression layer. A centerline option places labels directly on top of the line.
Font Reduction Automatically reduce the label size incrementally, when necessary. Each step shrinks the selected font by 0.5 pt. Very useful in densely labelled areas.
Overhangs Labels are allowed to overhang a line up to a set percentage. The percentage of overhang is relative to the start of the label and the end of the line.
Point Placement Fine tune label placement around points. Click the placement buttons in the desired order of priority.
	Curved Linear Placement MAP LabelPro can achieve high-quality labels on curved line features. This is perfect for street or river feature labelling.
Line Symbol Placement MAP LabelPro can intelligently place symbols on vector lines. Control the text within the symbol. It includes predefined road shields for Canada and the United States. Include your own symbols to customize the look of your map.
	Word Spread Placement This cartographic labelling convention can be easily achieved by using this option. It works great on street labels and large areas.
