Re: Hide outside labels

[Julien Demaria <dem@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ansley,

Thanks for your answer,

In fact I want use the mode ppl window off, but I need truncate cities 
labels too when there are too long and has a part outside the window... : 
example : at the end of your example :

label 10, 53, -1, 0, 0.12 LONGLONGLABEL

I need this because I generate labels from a big list of cities and I 
cannot know if each label 'll overlap the window (depending on font, size, 
...).

Thanks,

Julien
