Property Details allowOverrun Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 LabelClass since 4.0, allowOverrun added at 4.22.
Specifies whether or not a polyline label can overrun the feature being labeled. For example, after the end of a polyline segment.
Known Limitations
Currently, this property only applies to Polyline FeatureLayer, CSVLayer, and StreamLayer in 2D MapViews.
Inherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className
.
deconflictionStrategy String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16 LabelClass since 4.0, deconflictionStrategy added at 4.16.
Defines how labels should be placed relative to one another. By default, labels have a static
deconfliction strategy, meaning labels that overlap are dropped to make them easier to read.
In some cases where few labels overlap, it may be preferable to turn off label deconfliction with the none
option. It is also advisable to turn off deconfliction when labeling clusters with a count of features in the center of the cluster.
The following images illustrate when you may, or may not, want labels to deconflict.
When labeling dense layers, the default deconfliction strategy (static
) is preferable since labeling all features causes significant overlap, making the labels illegible. Keeping the default setting allows some labels to render. As the user zooms in, all labels will eventually come into view.
When labeling clusters (or even sparsely distributed features) with small labels, it may be preferable to allow labels to slightly overlap since the information is still legible and doesn't significantly occlude the visualization. In the clustering scenario, a label deconfliction setting of static
may actually cause more confusion, making some features not appear to be clusters.
Known Limitations
Currently, this property only applies to FeatureLayer, CSVLayer, and StreamLayer in 2D MapViews.
Possible Values:"none" |"static"
Example
// Ensures all labels are displayed regardless
// of whether they overlap
labelClass.deconflictionStrategy = "none";
Defines the labels for a MapImageLayer. If working with a MapImageLayer that supports Arcade, you can also use labelExpressionInfo instead. To determine this, check the supportsArcadeExpressionForLabeling property. If true
, then labelExpression or labelExpressionInfo can be used. If false
, then only labelExpression can be used.
If working with FeatureLayer, use labelExpressionInfo instead.
Attribute values may be included in labels using SQL syntax. To include an attribute value in a label, wrap the name of the field in square brackets []
. See the example snippet below.
Example
// For Spokane County, WA, label will display: "Spokane County, Washington"
labelClass.labelExpression = '[COUNTY_NAME] CONCAT " County, " CONCAT [STATE_NAME]';
Defines the labels for a FeatureLayer.
If working with a MapImageLayer that supports Arcade, you can also use labelExpressionInfo. To determine this, check the supportsArcadeExpressionForLabeling property. If true
, then labelExpression or labelExpressionInfo can be used. If false
, then only labelExpression can be used.
An Arcade expression following the specification defined by the Arcade Labeling Profile. Expressions in labels may reference field values using the $feature
profile variable and must return a string.
For example, to label a layer of cities with their names, simply reference the field value with the global variable: $feature.CITY_NAME
. Expressions can be more sophisticated and use logical functions. This may be useful if you want to use classed labels. For example, the following expression appends city
to the end of the label if the feature's population field contains a number greater than 10,000. Otherwise, town
is appended to the end of the label. Additionally, you can use TextFormatting.NewLine
to add a new line to the label.
IIF($feature.POPULATION > 10000, $feature.NAME + ' city', $feature.NAME + ' town')
The title of the label expression. This is particularly useful in the case of multiple label classes.
Default Value:null
Example
// For Spokane County, WA, label will display: "Spokane County, Washington"
labelClass.labelExpressionInfo = {
expression: "$feature.COUNTY_NAME + ' County, ' + $feature.STATE_NAME"
};
labelPlacement String

Example
labelClass.labelPlacement = "above-right";
labelPosition String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 LabelClass since 4.0, labelPosition added at 4.22.
Specifies the orientation of the label position of a single line polyline label. If "curved"
, this means the characters follow the curve of the polyline, while "parallel"
means the characters will always be straight, and the orientation will be based on the angle of the polyline's curve at the label's position.
Known Limitations
"parallel"
property value.Possible Values:"curved" |"parallel"
maxScale Number
The maximum scale (most zoomed in) at which labels are visible in the view. A value of 0
means the label's visibility does not have a maximum scale. The maxScale value should always be smaller than the minScale value, and greater than or equal to the service specification.
minScale Number
The minimum scale (most zoomed out) at which labels are visible in the view. A value of 0
means the label's visibility does not have a minimum scale. The minScale value should always be larger than the maxScale value, and lesser than or equal to the service specification.
repeatLabel Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 LabelClass since 4.0, repeatLabel added at 4.22.
Indicates whether or not to repeat the label along the polyline feature. If true
, the label will be repeated according to the repeatLabelDistance. If false
, the label will display once per polyline segment.
Known Limitations
Currently, this property only applies to Polyline FeatureLayer, CSVLayer, and StreamLayer in 2D MapViews.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22 LabelClass since 4.0, repeatLabelDistance added at 4.22.
The size in points of the distance between labels on a polyline. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 100
, or "64pt"
, or "128px"
). The repeatLabel property must be true
for this property to be honored.
Known Limitations
Example
const labelClass = { // autocasts as new LabelClass()
symbol: {
type: "text", // autocasts as new TextSymbol()
color: "white",
font: { // autocast as new Font()
family: "Orbitron",
size: 12,
weight: "bold"
}
},
labelExpressionInfo: {
expression: "$feature.rte_num1"
},
labelPlacement: "center-along",
repeatLabel: true,
repeatDistanceLabel: 100
};
Defines the symbol used for rendering the label. If not set, the default symbol will be used. See the example below.
Example
// If not set, this default symbol will be used
labelClass.symbol = {
type: "text",
color: [255, 255, 255, 255], // white
font: { family: "Arial Unicode MS", size: 10, weight: "bold" },
haloColor: [0, 0, 0, 255], // black
haloSize: 1
};
A SQL where clause used to determine the features to which the label class should be applied. When specified, only features evaluating to true
based on this expression will be labeled.
Examples
labelClass.where = "CITYNAME = 'Redlands'";
labelClass.where = "MARKER_ACTIVITY IN ('Picnicking', 'Group Camping')";
