[udig-devel] Label not drawn in map

[Matthias Lendholt <matthias.lendholt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,
is it possible to force the Renderer to draw a label (Textsymbolizer) 
even it is very large relative to its feature?

image_1.jpg shows a screenshot with a map with several layers. The 
orange and the red features (type: MultiPolygon) should have a label 
with the name of this area. But its not drawn. Zooming in to one part of 
the red feature shows the label (image_2.jpg).
I've already set this parameter in my application:
ProjectPlugin.getPlugin().getPreferenceStore().setDefault(PreferenceConstants.P_IGNORE_LABELS_OVERLAPPING, 
true);
but this doesn't help cause there is no label overlapping. I guess the 
renderer avoid rendering labels that might be to large relative to the 
feature. Or is it a problem with MultiPolygon that the Renderer just 
dont know where to put the label?

Additionally: As you see I'm using a halo around the label. And the halo 
uses the radius for every letter creating a kind of bubble. Is is 
possible to get a rectangle with rounded corners like on the scalebar?

Thanks, Matthias
