problem with labelling - overlap

[Wim Blanken]

Hello Raj,

It depends on whether the labels belong the same object (but are in different fields) or to different objects laying on top of each other.
In the first case you could use the TEXT option in the class object and do something like:

TEXT "[FIELDNAME1] [FIELDNAME2] [FIELDNAME3]"

In the second case. I solved this by merging the points on the same location to 1 point storing the labels in one field.

Regards,
