OK, so I have a CartoCSS project.
These are all of the stylesheets used (as described in my project.mml):
"Stylesheet": [
"palette.mss",
"base.mss",
"roads.mss",
"labels.mss",
"extras.mss"
],
In the labels.mss file, I'm styling the labels. Here's the part I'm interested in:
#minorroad_label[zoom>15] {
text-name:'[name]';
text-face-name:@sans;
text-placement:line;
text-size:9;
text-fill:@street_text;
text-halo-fill:@road_halo;
text-halo-radius:1;
text-min-distance:60;
text-size:11;
text-allow-overlap: false;
}
#minorroad_label[oneway!=0][zoom>=16]{
marker-placement:line;
marker-height:1;
marker-fill: #bbb;
marker-line-opacity:0;
marker-spacing: 250;
}
/* ================================================================== */
/* ONE-WAY ARROWS
/* ================================================================== */
#motorway_label[zoom>=16],
#mainroad_label[zoom>=16],
#minorroad_label[zoom>=16] {
[oneway = 'yes'],
[oneway='-1'] {
marker-placement:line;
marker-max-error: 0.5;
marker-spacing: 200;
marker-file: url(img/oneway.svg);
marker-fill: white;
[oneway='-1'] { marker-file: url(img/oneway-reverse.svg); }
[zoom=16] { marker-transform: "scale(0.5)"; }
[zoom=17] { marker-transform: "scale(0.75)"; }
}
}
In the extras.mss file, I'm setting up the amenity icons. Here's an example:
.points {
::amenity {
[amenity = 'arts_centre'][zoom >=17] {
marker-transform: scale(@icon_scale);
marker-placement: interior;
marker-fill: @icon_fill;
marker-file: url('icons/shop/art.svg');
}
[amenity = 'atm'][zoom >=17] {
marker-transform: scale(@icon_scale); marker-placement: interior; marker-fill: @icon_fill;
marker-file: url('icons/atm.svg');
}
//[amenity = 'bank'][zoom >=17] {
// marker-placement: interior; marker-fill: @icon_fill;
// marker-file: url('icons/bank.svg');
//}
[amenity = 'bar'][zoom >= 17] {
marker-transform: scale(@icon_scale); marker-placement: interior; marker-fill: @icon_fill;
marker-file: url('icons/bar.svg');
}
[amenity = 'biergarten'][zoom >= 17] {
marker-transform: scale(@icon_scale); marker-placement: interior; marker-fill: @icon_fill;
marker-file: url('icons/biergarten.svg');
}
[amenity = 'cafe'][zoom >= 17] {
marker-transform: scale(@icon_scale); marker-placement: interior; marker-fill: @icon_fill;
marker-file: url('icons/cafe.svg');
}
[amenity = 'pub'][zoom >= 17] {
marker-transform: scale(@icon_scale); marker-placement: interior; marker-fill: @icon_fill;
marker-file: url('icons/pub.svg');
}
[amenity = 'restaurant'][zoom >= 17],
[amenity = 'food_court'][zoom >= 17] {
marker-transform: scale(@icon_scale); marker-placement: interior; marker-fill: @icon_fill;
marker-file: url('icons/restaurant.svg');
}
}
}
Now the problem is, in places where there are a lot of cafes or restaurants for example, all I can see the related icons -- with the street names, nowhere to be found.
What it looks like with the above code
What it looks like if I remove the icons altogether
What I want to do is: make the street names appear no matter what, and IF there is enough space for the icons, then that's fine. But the street names (#minorroad_label namely) should have priority over the icons.
I've tried moving things around, changing the order of the stylesheets, putting the icons' part before the labels, or after the labels, as if it'd affect the priority, but to no avail. I've also played with text-allow-overlap and marker-allow-overlap. Well, setting them to true does make them appear, but then it's a mess; definitely not what I want.
Any ideas/suggestions?
