A list of image filters that will be applied to the active rendering canvas for a given style. The presence of one more image-filters will trigger a new canvas to be created before starting to render a style and then this canvas will be composited back into the main canvas after rendering all features and after all image-filters have been applied. See direct-image-filters if you want to apply a filter directly to the main canvas.
image-filters-inflate¶
Type: boolean
Default Value: false (No special handling will be done and image filters that blur data will only blur up to the edge of a tile boundary)
A property that can be set to true to enable using an inflated image internally for seamless blurring across tiles (requires buffered data).

Default Value: point (Place markers at the center point (centroid) of the geometry.)
Attempt to place markers on a point, in the center of a polygon, or if markers-placement:line, then multiple times along a line. ‘interior’ placement can be used to ensure that points placed on polygons are forced to be inside the polygon interior. The ‘vertex-first’ and ‘vertex-last’ options can be used to place markers at the first or last vertex of lines or polygons.
marker-multi-policy¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: each whole largest
Default Value: each (If a feature contains multiple geometries and the placement type is either point or interior then a marker will be rendered for each.)
A special setting to allow the user to control rendering behavior for ‘multi-geometries’ (when a feature contains multiple geometries). This setting does not apply to markers placed along lines. The ‘each’ policy is default and means all geometries will get a marker. The ‘whole’ policy means that the aggregate centroid between all geometries will be used. The ‘largest’ policy means that only the largest (by bounding box areas) feature will get a rendered marker (this is how text labeling behaves by default).

Type: boolean
Default Value: false (Do not allow markers to overlap with each other - overlapping markers will not be shown.)
Control whether overlapping markers are shown or hidden.
marker-avoid-edges¶
Type: boolean
Default Value: false (Markers will be potentially placed near tile edges and therefore may look cut off unless they are rendered on each adjacent tile.)
Avoid placing markers that intersect with tile boundaries.
marker-ignore-placement¶
Type: boolean
Default Value: false (do not store the bbox of this geometry in the collision detector cache.)
Value to control whether the placement of the feature will prevent the placement of other features.
marker-spacing¶
Type: float
Default Value: 100 (In the case of marker-placement:line then draw a marker every 100 pixels along a line.)

Default Value: radial-distance (The geometry will be simplified using the radial distance algorithm.)
geometries are simplified by the given algorithm.
marker-smooth¶
Type: float
Default Value: 0 (No smoothing.) Range: 0-1 Smooths out geometry angles. 0 is no smoothing, 1 is fully smoothed. Values greater than 1 will produce wild, looping geometries.

Type: functions
Possible values: matrix translate scale rotate skewX skewY
Default Value: none (The geometry will not be transformed.)
Transform marker geometry with specified function.
marker-offset¶
Type: float
Default Value: 0 (Will not be offset.)

Default Value: src-over (Add the current symbolizer on top of other symbolizer.)
Composite operation. This defines how this symbolizer should behave relative to symbolizers atop or below it.
marker-direction¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: auto auto-down left right left-only right-only up down
Default Value: right (Markers are oriented to the right in the line direction.)
How markers should be placed along lines. With the “auto” setting when marker is upside down the marker is automatically rotated by 180 degrees to keep it upright. The “auto-down” value places marker in the opposite orientation to “auto”. The “left” or “right” settings can be used to force marker to always be placed along a line in a given direction and therefore disables rotating if marker appears upside down. The “left-only” or “right-only” properties also force a given direction but will discard upside down markers rather than trying to flip it. The “up” and “down” settings don’t adjust marker’s orientation to the line direction.

The color of the shield text.
shield-placement¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: point line vertex interior
Default Value: point (One shield will be placed per geometry.)
How this shield should be placed. Point placement places one shield on top of a point geometry and at the centroid of a polygon or the middle point of a line, line places along lines multiple times per feature, vertex places on the vertexes of polygons, and interior attempts to place inside of a polygon.
shield-avoid-edges¶

shield-min-distance¶
Type: float
Status: deprecated
Default Value: 0 (Shields with the same text will be rendered without restriction.)
Minimum distance to any other collision object. Deprecated: replaced by text-margin.

Type: float
Default Value: 0 (Only one shield per line will attempt to be placed.)
Distance the renderer should use to try to place repeated shields on a line.
shield-min-padding¶
Type: float
Default Value: 0 (No margin will be used to detect if a shield is nearby a tile boundary.)
Minimum distance a shield will be placed from the edge of a tile. This option is similar to shield-avoid-edges:true except that the extra margin is used to discard cases where the shield+margin are not fully inside the tile.
shield-label-position-tolerance¶
Type: float
Default Value: shield-spacing/2.0 (If a shield cannot be placed then the renderer will advance by shield-spacing/2.0 to try placement again.)
Allows the shield to be displaced from its ideal position by a number of pixels (only works with placement:line).

text-dx¶
Type: float
Default Value: 0 (Text will not be displaced.)
Displace text by fixed amount, in pixels, +/- along the X axis. With “dummy” placement-type, a positive value displaces to the right. With “simple” placement-type, it is either left, right or unchanged, depending on the placement selected. Any non-zero value implies “horizontal-alignment” changes to “left” by default. Has no effect with ‘line’ text-placement-type.
text-dy¶
Type: float
Default Value: 0 (Text will not be displaced.)
Displace text by fixed amount, in pixels, +/- along the Y axis. With “dummy” placement-type, a positive value displaces downwards.

Minimum distance that a label can be placed from any other text, shield, or marker.
text-repeat-distance¶
Type: float
Default Value: 0 (Labels with the same text will be rendered without restriction.)
Minimum distance between repeated text. If set this will prevent text labels being rendered nearby each other that contain the same text. Similar to text-min-distance with the difference that it works the same no matter what placement strategy is used.
text-min-distance¶

Rotates the displacement around the placement origin by the angle given by “orientation”.
text-upright¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: auto auto-down left right left-only right-only
Default Value: auto (Text will be positioned upright automatically.)
How this label should be placed along lines. By default when more than half of a label’s characters are upside down the label is automatically flipped to keep it upright. By changing this parameter you can prevent this “auto-upright” behavior. The “auto-down” value places text in the opposite orientation to “auto”. The “left” or “right” settings can be used to force text to always be placed along a line in a given direction and therefore disables flipping if text appears upside down. The “left-only” or “right-only” properties also force a given direction but will discard upside down text rather than trying to flip it.
text-placement¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: point line vertex interior
Default Value: point (One shield will be placed per geometry.)
How this label should be placed. Point placement places one label on top of a point geometry and at the centroid of a polygon or the middle point of a line, line places along lines multiple times per feature, vertex places on the vertexes of polygons, and interior attempts to place inside of a polygon.
text-placement-type¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: dummy simple list
Default Value: dummy (Alternative placements will not be enabled.)
Re-position and/or re-size text to avoid overlaps. “simple” for basic algorithm (using text-placements string,) “dummy” to turn this feature off.

Transform the case of the characters.
text-horizontal-alignment¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: left middle right auto adjust
Default Value: auto (TODO.)
The text’s horizontal alignment from it’s centerpoint. If placement is set to line, then adjust can be set to auto-fit the text to the length of the path by dynamically calculating character-spacing.
text-align¶
Type: keyword
Possible values: left right center auto
Default Value: auto (Auto alignment means that text will be centered by default except when using the ``placement-type`` parameter - in that case either right or left justification will be used automatically depending on where the text could be fit given the ``text-placements`` directives.)
Define how text is justified.
text-clip¶
Type: boolean
Default Value: false (The geometry will not be clipped to map bounds before rendering.)
Turning on clipping can help performance in the case that the boundaries of the geometry extent outside of tile extents. But clipping can result in undesirable rendering artifacts in rare cases.

Composite operation. This defines how this symbolizer should behave relative to symbolizers atop or below it.
text-font-feature-settings¶
Type: string
Default Value: (Default set of typographic features recommended by OpenType specification. Ligatures are turned off by default when ``character-spacing`` is greater than zero.)
Comma separated list of OpenType typographic features. The syntax and semantics conforms to font-feature-settings from W3C CSS.
text-largest-bbox-only¶
