Better place name label hierarchy & placement
clhenrick opened this issue · comments
Believe labels for certain places are being sized based on population data, this should probably not be the sole factor for label prominence. Perhaps it would be helpful to pull scalerank from Natural Earth's populated places to be included with Aries and use that instead?
For example the Seattle area at z11, the label for Seattle doesn't render:
And the SF Bay Area at z11, the label for SF should probably be more prominent than Oakland, though it has a smaller population:
On the top map, Eastgate has population <5000 and is labeled. Seattle has population >500000 and is not labeled. The problem may not be correlated with population, so it might be more of a bug...?
Yes it's likely to do with Seattle's label falling on or very close to a tile edge which may be why it's not being rendered.
