Better management of overlapping marker labels

[RyanTG]

Currently our markers have text within them that show the number of machines. Then, when zoomed at certain levels, there are also offset radial text labels with the venue name. The number labels can overlap (never hide markers); the floating labels do not overlap each other.

The floating labels, since they are a different symbolLayer than the number labels, do overlap the number labels. I would like the floating labels to not display unless they do not overlap a number label (or are dynamically offset).

How to achieve this!!!

Perhaps changing the order of the symbollayers will help.

I’ll edit this comment if I find anything more.

Closing. I think ultimately it's ok as is. And there's no good solution available.
