Road map for repeating labels for polygons

NicolasGIS — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 14:00:23 GMT

Hello,

I am just hitting the limitation of labelling polygons which cannot be repeated:

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-support-LabelClass.html#repeatLabel

I have very long and narrow polygons (tunnels) and for this use case, having a single label at the center of the polygon is really not convenient. This property for lines has been added at 4.22 so a while ago. Is adding repeating labels for polygons in the roadmap ? I saw that 4.33 added labeling multipoints geometries:

Thanks for listening,

Nicolas
