If feature class is overlaped don't display its label












1














I've got 2 polygon feature classes, one with countries and one with sectors of the countries.
How can I prevent country labels from rendering if I have sector classes overlaping them.
So how can you stop drawing labels over other feature classes, rather then over other feature class labels.

          If it is just for cartographic purposes an option would be to copy the label column in the attribute table, select by location all those with overlap and simply delete the labels for those with over lap (i.e. the label would then display blank).



          Or you could intersect the geometries, select by attribute the combination you which wish to avoid and delete the label data in those fields.

          I think weight of the feature is your option.



          You can find that option under label manager > placement properties > conflict analysis
          and set up value according to help below. (I don't have english version of ArcMap, but this most accurate names I can provide).



          A quick tour of the Labeling toolbar



          A quick tour of labeling with the Maplex Label Engine



          Help on labels weight, below is piece of it




          Some common uses for weights:



          Prevents all labels from being placed on a given layer of point/line
          features or polygon outlines. Do this by increasing feature weight to
          High.



          Forces ArcMap to consider alternate positions for labels. Do
          this by increasing feature weight to Low or Medium.



          Prevents some
          labels from being placed on top of some features. Do this by
          increasing some feature weights and decreasing some label weights.



          If
          your data frame has annotation groups or annotation layers with
          nontext graphics, specify that labels be placed on top of these
          graphics by setting the feature weight for the layers and/or groups to
          None.

          • Ok, so Ive rewrite my comment to your answer a few times now, as Ive tried difrent aproces to the weight system. Ive recently upgraded from ArcGIS 10.1 to 10.6.1, Ive tried this before, but buggie as it was I did'nt draw any conclusins back then. Now after reading the documentation you've kindly provided Ive found out that, Labels care only about a polygons outline and not whats within it; The order in the Table of Contents does not matter; Normal or Maplex if the weight is not set to maximum the the label with the low weight still displays even if it intersects the polygon outlines

          • And also from what I can tell the weight, at least for the future class acts as a buffer that grows acordingly. At least untill the next case Im trying this in , where using the same settings I getting difrent results. Meaning eather Im not competent yet with this tool/future or its not reliable for my work.

          I dont think you can do this dynamically without scripting it yourself (you can ensure labels do not over lap, but that is not quite what you are asking for I think?)



          If it is just for cartographic purposes an option would be to copy the label column in the attribute table, select by location all those with overlap and simply delete the labels for those with over lap (i.e. the label would then display blank).



          Or you could intersect the geometries, select by attribute the combination you which wish to avoid and delete the label data in those fields.

          Ok, so Ive rewrite my comment to your answer a few times now, as Ive tried difrent aproces to the weight system. Ive recently upgraded from ArcGIS 10.1 to 10.6.1, Ive tried this before, but buggie as it was I did'nt draw any conclusins back then. Now after reading the documentation you've kindly provided Ive found out that, Labels care only about a polygons outline and not whats within it; The order in the Table of Contents does not matter; Normal or Maplex if the weight is not set to maximum the the label with the low weight still displays even if it intersects the polygon outlines

          And also from what I can tell the weight, at least for the future class acts as a buffer that grows acordingly. At least untill the next case Im trying this in , where using the same settings I getting difrent results. Meaning eather Im not competent yet with this tool/future or its not reliable for my work.

          Ellipse (mathématiques)

          Image
          Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

          Quarter-circle Tiles

          Image
          up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
