[OpenLayers-Users] Multiple labels on the same polygon

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi,

I am trying to do some labels on polygons which are in an overlay layer 
on top of Google Map base layer. The polygon data is served through WMS 
(Geoserver). Labels are produced in GeoServer using its own style 
definition (TextSymbolizer). The problem is that larger polygons get 
more than one label on them. I would prefer them to have exactly one per 
polygon. If I test the polygon layer with Geoserver's OL preview, 
everything is just like I would want it to be. But my html page is 
something else.

I also noticed that the scale in my page when compared to scale in the 
OL preview, is different. However, the SLD seem to be obeying the scale 
value although the real map scale is different. Could that differ be the 
key to my problems?

I will deliver further information if needed. OL is either 2.7 or the 
one delivered with Geoserver 1.7.0.
