Labels for timezones layer

[Stephen Lime]

Can't be done, at least not without some custom coding. You might be able to
create an interesting effect by stacking 3 maps on top of each other where:

 - top map is narrow and displays only the timezone labels (centered)
 - main map is defined as normal
 - bottom map is narrow and displays only the timezone labels (centered)

|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
|                                                   |
----------------------------------------------------

Extents would need to be constant between the 3 maps but that shouldn't be
that hard to do. You'll need some javascript to do this unless you're developing
a custom client. This is a sneaky way to add all sorts of effects to interfaces.

Just an idea...

Hi everyone,

I am using the timezones layer (ESRI) and I would like to display the
number of the zone. The problem is to display them at the top and the
bottom of the map at any zoom factor, in other words not at the center
of the polygon. I would like to avoid generating a specific point layer
dynamically. Any idea ?

Thanks,


Marc
