    If true, the symbols will not cross tile edges to avoid mutual collisions. Recommended in layers that don't have enough padding in the vector tile to prevent collisions, or if it is a point symbol layer placed after a line symbol layer. When using a client that supports global collision detection, like MapLibre GL JS version 0.42.0 or greater, enabling this property is not needed to prevent clipped labels at tile boundaries.

    To increase the chance of placing high-priority labels on the map, you can provide an array of `text-anchor` locations: the renderer will attempt to place the label at each location, in order, before moving onto the next label. Use `text-justify: auto` to choose justification based on anchor position. To apply an offset, use the `text-radial-offset` or the two-dimensional `text-offset`.
    
    #### Example[](#example)
    
    ```json
    ["center", "left", "right"]
    ```
    
-   ##### `Optional`text-variable-anchor-offset?: [DataDrivenPropertyValueSpecification](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/types/DataDrivenPropertyValueSpecification/)<  
        [VariableAnchorOffsetCollectionSpecification](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/types/VariableAnchorOffsetCollectionSpecification/),  
    \>
    
    To increase the chance of placing high-priority labels on the map, you can provide an array of `text-anchor` locations, each paired with an offset value. The renderer will attempt to place the label at each location, in order, before moving on to the next location+offset. Use `text-justify: auto` to choose justification based on anchor position.
    
    The length of the array must be even, and must alternate between enum and point entries. i.e., each anchor location must be accompanied by a point, and that point defines the offset when the corresponding anchor location is used. Positive offset values indicate right and down, while negative values indicate left and up. Anchor locations may repeat, allowing the renderer to try multiple offsets to try and place a label using the same anchor.
    
    When present, this property takes precedence over `text-anchor`, `text-variable-anchor`, `text-offset`, and `text-radial-offset`.
    
    ```json
    { "text-variable-anchor-offset": ["top", [0, 4], "left", [3,0], "bottom", [1, 1]] }
    ```
    
    When the renderer chooses the `top` anchor, `[0, 4]` will be used for `text-offset`; the text will be shifted down by 4 ems.
    
    When the renderer chooses the `left` anchor, `[3, 0]` will be used for `text-offset`; the text will be shifted right by 3 ems.
    
    #### Example[](#example-1)
    
    ```json
    ["top", [0, 4], "left", [3, 0], "bottom", [1, 1]]
    ```
    
-   ##### `Optional`text-writing-mode?: [PropertyValueSpecification](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/types/PropertyValueSpecification/)<("horizontal" | "vertical")\[\]\>
    
    The property allows control over a symbol's orientation. Note that the property values act as a hint, so that a symbol whose language doesn’t support the provided orientation will be laid out in its natural orientation. Example: English point symbol will be rendered horizontally even if array value contains single 'vertical' enum value. The order of elements in an array define priority order for the placement of an orientation variant.
    
-   ##### `Optional`visibility?: [VisibilitySpecification](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api-reference/types/VisibilitySpecification/)
    
    Whether this layer is displayed.

    ```
    

### `Optional`maxzoom[](#maxzoom)

maxzoom?: number

The maximum zoom level for the layer. At zoom levels equal to or greater than the maxzoom, the layer will be hidden.

### `Optional`metadata[](#metadata)

metadata?: unknown

#### Example[](#example-2)

```json
{"source:comment": "Hydrology FCCODE 460 - Narrow wash"}
```

### `Optional`minzoom[](#minzoom)

minzoom?: number
