[mapguide-users] Working with labels in map viewer

[mighty_duck]

Hello, 

thanks for reply

so, does that mean , for example, that I can keep coordinates of label in
database and use them when I want to show labels on map? And if I would like
to be able to change position of those labels...I would need to implement my
own "labeling" depending on the coordinates from database???

Im using AJAX viewer.

regards
