Good morning. I recently uncovered what appears to be a bug when attempting to label a feature layer and using a halo around the label. The behavior is different in all three browsers. First, here is my code used for producing the halo:
Classes:
"esri/symbols/TextSymbol",
"esri/renderers/SimpleRenderer",
"esri/layers/LabelClass",
"esri/Color",
and
function(
TextSymbol,
SimpleRenderer,
LabelClass,
Color,
)
Code for Defining Text and the Halo:
// Create Renderer for Gracelawn Cemetery Spaces Layer to Override Default Symbology
var glSpacesColor = new Color([0,0,0]); // Set Text Color to Black
// Create a Text Symbol to Define the Style of the Labels
var glSpacesLabels = new TextSymbol().setColor(glSpacesColor);
glSpacesLabels.font.setSize("8pt");
glSpacesLabels.font.setFamily("arial");
glSpacesLabels.setHaloSize("2");
glSpacesLabels.setHaloColor([255,255,255]);
// Label Expression from JSON
var glSpacesJSON = {
"labelExpressionInfo": {"value": "{SPACE_}"}
};
var glSpacesLabelClass = new LabelClass(glSpacesJSON);
glSpacesLabelClass.symbol = glSpacesLabels;
gracelawnFL.setLabelingInfo([glSpacesLabelClass]);
The Output:
(see attachment)
You will notice that there are 3 different results with the halo:
