Tutorial: Using Expressions in Labels

This tutorial demonstrates how to use expressions, which are mathematical
formulas that modify a property within a label style.
You use text, lines, and block data components to present static data in a label
style. Expressions modify the data in the standard label style components. For
example, in the Layout tab of the Label Style Composer dialog box, you can
insert an expression in place of a static value when determining the text height
of a label. This expression could increase the text height of a spot elevation
label to coincide with the elevation height.
In this tutorial, you will update an existing label style to add an expression
that displays magnetic compass directions of the alignment at each geometry
point.
