add a new layer

Parameters
lyrNamelayer's name
min_scalebellow this scale: no labelling (-1 to disable)
max_scaleabove this scale: no labelling (-1 to disable)
arrangementHowto place candidates
label_unitUnit for labels sizes
defaultPrioritylayer's prioriry (0 is the best, 1 the worst)
obstacle'true' will discourage other label to be placed above features of this layer
activeis the layer is active (currently displayed)
toLabelthe layer will be labeled only if toLablel is true
displayAllif true, all features will be labelled even though overlaps occur
Exceptions
PalException::LayerExists
Todo:
add symbolUnit

QList< Layer * > * pal::Pal::getLayers ( )

get all layers

Returns
a list of all layers

Definition at line 131 of file pal.cpp.

SearchMethod pal::Pal::getSearch ( )

get the search method in use

Returns
the search method

Definition at line 984 of file pal.cpp.

bool pal::Pal::getShowPartial ( )

Get flag show partial label.

Returns
value of flag

std::list< LabelPosition * > * pal::Pal::labeller ( double  scale,
double  bbox[4],
PalStat **  stats,
bool  displayAll 
)

the labeling machine Will extract all active layers

Parameters
scalemap scale is 1:scale
bboxmap extent
statsA PalStat object (can be NULL)
displayAllif true, all feature will be labelled even though overlaps occur
Returns
A list of label to display on map

Definition at line 664 of file pal.cpp.

std::list< LabelPosition * > * pal::Pal::labeller ( int  nbLayers,
char **  layersName,
double *  layersFactor,
double  scale,
double  bbox[4],
PalStat **  stat,
bool  displayAll 
)

the labeling machine Active layers are specifiend through layersName array

Todo:
add obstacles and tolabel arrays
Parameters
nbLayers# layers
layersNamenames of layers to label
layersFactorlayers priorities array
scalemap scale is '1:scale'
bboxmap extent
statwill be filled with labelling process statistics, can be NULL
displayAllif true, all feature will be labelled even though overlaps occur
Todo:
UnknownLayer will be ignored ? should throw exception or not ???
Returns
A list of label to display on map

Definition at line 699 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::registerCancellationCallback ( Pal::FnIsCancelled  fnCancelled,
void *  context 
)

Register a function that returns whether this job has been cancelled - PAL calls it during the computation.

Definition at line 834 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::removeLayer ( Layer layer)

remove a layer

Parameters
layerlayer to remove

Definition at line 152 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::setDpi ( int  dpi)

Set map resolution.

Parameters
dpimap resolution (dot per inch)

Definition at line 938 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::setLineP ( int  line_p)

set maximum # candidates to generate for lines features Higher the value is, longer Pal::labeller will spend time

Parameters
line_pmaximum # candidates for a line

Definition at line 891 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::setMapUnit ( Units  map_unit)

set map unit

Definition at line 1044 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::setPointP ( int  point_p)

set # candidates to generate for points features Higher the value is, longer Pal::labeller will spend time

Parameters
point_p# candidates for a point

Definition at line 885 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::setPolyP ( int  poly_p)

set maximum # candidates to generate for polygon features Higher the value is, longer Pal::labeller will spend time

Parameters
poly_pmaximum # candidate for a polygon

Definition at line 897 of file pal.cpp.

void pal::Pal::setSearch ( SearchMethod  method)

Select the search method to use.

For interactive mapping using CHAIN is a good idea because it is the fastest. Other methods, ordered by speedness, are POPMUSIC_TABU, POPMUSIC_CHAIN and POPMUSIC_TABU_CHAIN, defined in pal::_searchMethod enumeration

Parameters
methodthe method to use

Definition at line 989 of file pal.cpp.
