Points of interest in the real world can be represented through a variety of shapes, such as circles and lines, but the geometry alone may not be informative enough for various purposes. For example, you may have some polygons representing zones, but you want to label these zones as zone A, zone B, and zone C. Or perhaps, you need to display the number of people at a location, represented with a circle and a label containing the count.
For this recipe, we will assign the name of a person to a geometry point. The features will be placed at some houses. You can use your imagination as to why this may be useful! The source code can be found in ch03/ch03-geometry-labels/. Here's a screenshot of what we'll end up with:
