[OpenLayers-Users] showing textlabels on a KML layer

[Thomas PAPIN]

You can do something like:

styleMap = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({'default':{
                        label : "${label}",
                        fontColor: "${fontColor}",
                        fontSize: "11px",
                        labelAlign: "${labelAlign}",
                        pointRadius: 2,
                        labelXOffset : "${labelX}",
                        labelYOffset : "${labelY}"
                    }});

GMLlayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("Layer name, kml_url,
 {
                    format: OpenLayers.Format.KML,
                                                    formatOptions: {
                                                        extractAttributes:
true,
                                                        maxDepth: 2
                                                        },
                                                    styleMap: styleMap
                                                });

And a KML like that:

<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
  <Document>
    <name>Date</name>
    <description>Date</description>
      <Placemark>
         <label>24 Jan, 13h</label>
         <labelAlign>center</labelAlign>
         <labelX>0</labelX>
         <labelY>10</labelY>
         <Point>
           <coordinates>70.0,-30</coordinates>
         </Point>
