Q&A - Question Calculated Label Question ChrM asked on May 13, 2017, keyword: Viewer / Editor Can a label calculate and display a value on the basis of GIS_AREA or GIS_LENGTH? For example, GIS_AREA/4,046.856422 would display acres rather than square meters. Is it possible to perform a calculation with GIS_AREA or GIS_Length when using the 'Set Column Value' feature? Answers ChrM replied May 09, 2017 Just found Tools...Field Calculator, which may be used to update field with a calculated value. The script doesn't make calculations on the fly, i.e. within the label itself. Danv replied May 13, 2017 Another possibility is to use a paint event when a shape is drawn or when a label is drawn. This might slow down the drawing of the layer but one can switch this on and of, depending on how one writes his/her code ;-) We wrote an example of extended rendering: render information from one layer to be used for the styling of another layer. None of the layers is changed in data. We call it dynamic rendering.
