Provides access to members that control the placement of labels relative to features using conflict detection.

Description
Manages settings that control the placement of dynamic labels and feature-linked annotation relative to features. This interface manages generic settings that apply to all feature geometry types (point, line, and polygon). This interface also manages, or provides access to other objects that manage, placement properties that are used only when labeling or annotating a specific feature geometry type.
Members
Description | ||
---|---|---|
BufferRatio | Label buffer ratio. A value of 1 means a buffer the size of the label height. | |
FeatureType | Feature type. | |
FeatureWeight | Barrier weighting for features in the layer. | |
GenerateUnplacedLabels | Indicates if unplaced labels are generated. | |
LabelWeight | Barrier weighting for labels in the layer. | |
LineLabelPlacementPriorities | Line label placement position priority options. | |
LineLabelPosition | Line label placement position options. | |
LineOffset | Offset in map units at which labels will be placed away from line features. | |
MaxDistanceFromTarget | Maximum distance in map units the label is allowed to be away from the feature. | |
NumLabelsOption | Feature labeling option for the layer. | |
PerpendicularToAngle | Indicates whether the label should be drawn perpendicular to the angle. | |
PlaceOnlyInsidePolygon | Indicates whether label is to be placed only within the polygon. | |
PointPlacementAngles | Point label placement angle(s). | |
PointPlacementMethod | Point label placement method. | |
PointPlacementOnTop | Indicates if point labels are placed on top of features. | |
PointPlacementPriorities | Point label placement position priority options. | |
PolygonPlacementMethod | Polygon label placement method. | |
RotationField | The attribute field that contains the label angle. | |
RotationType | Defines the format is the rotation field in. |

Remarks
Not all property value combinations on this interface are valid in ArcMap, but no validation is performed by this object. This means that you can set the properties of this object to any combination and this object will not correct any of them for you.
When labeling occurs in ArcMap, invalid property combinations on this object can create unexpected results.
Validation does occur when the ArcMap user interface is used (i.e. the label placement properties dialog). Changes applied here by the user will change the values set on the current object.
When setting properties using this interface, it is recommended that you use the ArcMap user interface logic as a guide to setting valid property combinations. A few guidelines are provided here:
The following members are used only when labeling or annotating point features: PerpendicularToAngle, PointPlacementAngles, PointPlacementMethod, PointPlacementOnTop, and PointPlacementPriorities, RotationField, and RotationType . Note that labels can be placed at an angle, or on top of point features, but not both.
The following members are used only when labeling or annotating line features: LineLabelPlacementPriorities, LineLabelPosition, and LineOffset. Read the help for ILineLabelPlacementProperties and ILineLabelPosition to learn more about line label placement properties.
The following members are used only when labeling or annotating polygon features: PlaceOnlyInsidePolygon and PolygonPlacementMethod .
MaxDistanceFromTarget is used only when the label engine is used to place chart symbols.
The property GenerateUnplacedLabels simply determines whether unplaced labels are generated by the label engine or not. To specify whether or not to display the unplaced labels, see the property IOverposterLayerProperties2::TagUnplaced
