Label

The Label tool is used to manually add labels to a map at the location where the user clicks. Both
horizontal and curves labels can be drawn with the label tool. In its simplest use the Label tool draws
a label with the default settings. But MapXtreme’s extensive labeling capabilities provides a
tremendous number of style, position and visibility options that you can use to bring your labels to
life. See also

Extensions Menu Commands

Beginning with MapXtreme v7.0.0, you can load custom .NET assemblies into Workspace Manager
to extend its functionality via the Extensions menu. For example, you may wish to have multiple tab
windows, each with settings that apply to a different map. Extensions can also add menu items to
any of the Workspace Manager menu, including the Extensions menu.

This menu provides two commands: Load Extension and Manage Extensions.

Load Extension

This command displays an Open dialog where you can navigate to the location of your custom
extensions. Extensions are created and saved as .DLLs using the file naming convention
<your_extension>.WorkspaceManager.Extensions.dll.

Manage Extensions

This command displays the Extension Manager dialog where you can load or unload extensions,
and modify properties of an extension. The loaded extensions display in the list box showing name,
version and assembly location.
