Openlayers dynamically label polygon segments

Question

My requirement is to show dynamic label on polygon feature's segments with some offeset. The label text should have the rank of each segment. If it is a square which starts at top left corner it will look as

     1    
  -------
  |      |
 4|      |2
  |      |
  --------
     3

Can anyone give me somoe pointers in achieving this using openlayers?

Thanks,

Vijay

Answer 1

As far as i know you can only have one label per feature. So you'll probably need to generate 4 lines from feature.geometry.getVertices() with individual labels and their offsets.

Or generate an invisible points between each location of feature.geometry.getVertices() with individual labels and their offsets.
