What is Labelgun?

Labelgun is a mapping library agnostic labelling engine. It allows you to avoid cluttering in mapping popups and labels, providing precedence to labels of your choice.

The library makes three assumptions:

  • Each label has a bounding rectangle (Min X, Min Y, Max X, Max Y)
  • Each label has a weight
  • You can provide a function that will hide and show a label (e.g. changing a CSS class or calling a mapping library method)
