Use repeat_group for better label placement experience #141

Open tallytalwar opened 8 years ago

tallytalwar commented 8 years ago

Now that https://github.com/tangrams/tangram-es/pull/465 got merged in ES and equivalent was available on JS for some time now, we should have the eraser-map style sheet use this feature to get better placed labels.

Agree we should update style for repeat_group, exciting!

(The default repeat_distance on Tangram JS was sufficient for general purpose, assume the same will be true in Tangram ES.)

Yup... we use the same 256px default. Results can be seen in the latest build of eraser-map :D.

Wow, huge improvement! Looks like we will want to optimize for less repeat, need to balance how it looks on ES with the different text engine from JS. That work should be focused in #57, this issue on repeat_group.
