[Geoserver-users] putt a polygon label outside (right of) the polygon?

[Ákos M. <ak...@ma...>]

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to put a label outside a polygon?

that is, not inside, but outside on purpose. say, some pixels to the
right of the right edge of the polygon?

I tried to do this by calculating the with of the polygon with some
function, and to use this value in the DisplacementX value for a label
placement. but I didn't find a way to get the width of the polygon - I
didn't find any of the functions that would have me achieve this.
