Grid Values Layer Labels Properties

The Labels page controls the appearance of labels in a grid values layer. Labels are displayed by checking the Show labels check box on the General page.

Specify label display options on the Labels page of the Properties window.

Position Relative to Symbol

Select the relative position for labels in the Position relative to symbol field. Click the current selection and select Center, Left, Right, Above, Below, or Custom from the Position relative to symbol list. If you select Custom, the X offset and Y offset properties are displayed.

X Offset

The X offset positions the labels relative to the symbol position in the X direction (left and right). Positive X offset values move the labels to the right. Negative X offset values move the labels to the left. Type a value in page units between -4.0 and 4.0 inches (-10.16 to 10.16 centimeters) to set the X offset, or click the button to change the X offset .

Y Offset

The Y offset positions the labels relative to the symbol position in the Y direction (up and down). Positive Y offset values move the labels up. Negative Y offset values move the labels down. Type a value in page units between -4.0 and 4.0 inches (-10.16 to 10.16 centimeters) to set the Y offset, or click the button to change the Y offset.

Angle

The Angle (degrees) property sets the rotation of the labels in the grid values layer. Type a value in degrees in the Angle (degrees) field between 0 and 360 or click and drag the slider to select a value. Labels rotate counterclockwise as the Angle (degrees) increases.
