Oops,nevermind, I figured out my problem, they are only supported on POLYGON layers (huh??? Why the limit?). Hmm, I suppose I could fake a POLYGON type in the output. The data is all point based in PostGIS, So I could use an Envelope query of some sort I
suppose, but I expect a performance hit there of some sort.<br>
<br>
Hmm, I'll need to think about this some more . . . I wonder why only POLYGONS are supported? Seems odd.<u></u><u></u></p>

The offset lable with a leader will only be attempted if there is a collision with and existing label that requires moving the label to place it on the image.<br>
