Labeling Info

[MarcoBrugna]

Hi,

is it possibile to specify the labelling info for a Dynamic Layer?

I've a page where the user select a column and a class break renderer is generated upon that column.
The problem is that the user doesn't see a label specifying the value of each polygon.

how can I solve this problem?

for 10.1 dynamic layers you can decide whether or not you'd like to show labels by setting the showLabels property of the LayerDrawingOptions class

Hi John,

unfortunately, showLabels isnt' enough for me.
I would like to change the labels expression in order to change the field used for Labelling.

I've see that in the REST API there is a JSON structure in order to define the Label Style.
How can I set this value into the Dynamic Layer?

{
    "labelPlacement": "esriServerPolygonPlacementAlwaysHorizontal",
    "labelExpression": "[TAG]",
    "useCodedValues": false,
    "symbol": {
     "type": "esriTS",
     "color": [78,78,78,255],
     "backgroundColor": null,
     "borderLineColor": null,
     "verticalAlignment": "bottom",
     "horizontalAlignment": "left",
     "rightToLeft": false,
     "angle": 0,
     "xoffset": 0,
     "yoffset": 0,
     "font": {
      "family": "Arial",
      "size": 12,
      "style": "normal",
      "weight": "bold",
      "decoration": "none"
     }
    },
    "minScale": 1999,
    "maxScale": 0,
    "where": ""
   }

Thanks

this is not currently possible.  here's the associated enhancement request.

Hi john,

Do you have an idea when this requirement will be implemented in the JSApi?
I have seen that in the FlexAPI it is already available.

(is there a way to implement this functionality by our own using the rest api?)


Thanks
Marco
