Customize the Label text
Spectrum Spatial Analyst now allows you to customize the label style for non-raster spatial layers. You can now choose the desired label column and modify label properties.
- You can apply your style to the map label and save it with your map project.
- This feature enables you to define a style that fits with the theme of your map. You can choose the appropriate font, color, pattern, etc., for your labels.
- Changes made by the users are persisted with the map project if the user saves the project. The initially named layer label settings are not changed.
