Notes

The Label by Length Staggered command calculates the items within a given length according to the formula:

Number = (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.
