Notes
The Label by Length from Boundary Staggered command calculates the items according to the formula:
Number = (Perimeter Length x Slope Factor x 2) / Item Centres
This is based on a stagger pattern of equalateral trianagles (i.e. each item planted at 60 degrees to the previous)
The number and the centres can be overriden using the Label Insertion Options.
The style of the leader and the label text is determind by the current Label Preferences.
For further information on centres and densities see the Density Reference page.
