Labels
label
To add a single Label:
const label = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.31878, 25.23584],
text: 'Your label text',
});

const label = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.31878, 25.23584],
text: 'Your label text',
});

Several labels
To add several labels you need to create Label instance for each label respectively:
const firstLabel = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.27414, 25.25757],
text: 'First label',
});
const secondLabel = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.28925, 25.21161],
text: 'Second label',
});
const thirdLabel = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.34418, 25.21534],
text: 'Third label',
});

text: 'Third label',
});

Multiline label
To add a Label with multiline text, just use the line break symbol \n in the text string:
const label = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.31878, 25.23584],
text: 'First line\nSecond line\nThird line',
});

});

Label placement
By default the center point of the label box placed in the geographical coordinates specified in LabelOptions. But you can change this behavior by passing an relativeAnchor and an offset options:
// The center center label placement, by default.
const defaultPlacement = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.32878, 25.23584],
text: 'Default label placement',
});
// The right center label placement.
const rightCenterPlacement = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.32878, 25.24584],
text: 'Right center placement',
relativeAnchor: [0, 0.5],
});
// The left top label placement with offset.
const leftTopPlacement = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.30878, 25.22584],
text: 'Left top placement and offset',
offset: [-10, -10],
relativeAnchor: [1, 1],
});

Label with halo
To add halo to the label you need to set haloRadius and haloColor in the LabelOptions:
const label = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.27414, 25.25757],
text: 'First label',
color: '#0000ff',
haloRadius: 2,
haloColor: '#00ff0055',
});

});
const label = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.31878, 25.23584],
text: 'Label with halo',
color: '#0000ff',
haloRadius: 2,
haloColor: '#00ff0055',
});
</script>

Label with background image
There is an ability to use a stretchable image as background for text. Stretchable images allow some parts of the image to stretch while keeping other parts, such as corners, at a constant size. Set the LabelOptions image property to use the image as label background.
Let's add the label «Label with image» with background image from the plot below.
const label = new mapgl.Label(map, {
coordinates: [55.31878, 25.23584],
text: 'Label with image',
fontSize: 64,
image: {
url: 'https://docs.2gis.com/img/mapgl/tooltip-big.svg',
size: [500, 250],
// The two (blue) columns of pixels that can be stretched horizontally:
// - the pixels between x: 50 and x: 200 can be stretched
// - the pixels between x: 300 and x: 450 can be stretched.
stretchX: [
[50, 200],
[300, 450],
],
// The one (red) row of pixels that can be stretched vertically:
// - the pixels between y: 50 and y: 150 can be stretched
stretchY: [[50, 150]],
// padding like in CSS [top, right, bottom, left]:
padding: [50, 50, 100, 50],
},
});

Note, to display the intersections of the labels with a background image correctly, it's necessary to set a different zIndex for each label.
const bottomLabel = new mapgl.Label(map, {
...bottomLabelOptions,
zIndex: 1,
});
const middleLabel = new mapgl.Label(map, {
...topLabelOptions,
zIndex: 2,
});
const topLabel = new mapgl.Label(map, {
...middleLabelOptions,
zIndex: 3,
});
