Labeling Results
The labeling results are emitted out of the MapTextLabeller via a set of output ports.
For FME 2025 and newer
A fixed set of output ports are shown on the MapTextLabeller named Text, Leader, Symbol, and Unplaced. All placed text is emitted via the Text port. All placed leaders are emitted via the Leader port. All placed symbols are emitted via the Symbol port. For any feature whose label could not be placed, that feature is output on the Unplaced port. Each output feature on Unplaced possesses an additional attribute named _ez_unlabeled_reason that stores the reason for failure. Possible values for this attribute are Suppressed, Excluded and Unplaced.
These output ports can be connected to Writers or other transformers such as an Inspector.
For FME 2024
For each map layer possessing a label definition (a dot shown in its Labeled cell in the Rule Configurations table), up to four output ports are created by the transformer named as <map layer>_TXT, <map layer>_UNL, <map layer>_SYM, and <map layer>_LDR. The output port <map layer>_TXT emits all placed text. The output port <map layer>_SYM emits all placed symbols (like road shields). The output port <map layer>_LDR emits all placed leaders. For any feature whose label could not be placed, that feature is output on the <map layer>_UNL port. Each output feature on <map layer>_UNL possesses an additional attribute named _ez_unlabeled_reason that stores the reason for failure. Possible values for this attribute are Suppressed, Excluded and Unplaced.
These output ports can be connected to Writers or other transformers such as an Inspector.
