# Labeling

In JMap, labels are text values attached to map elements. They are used to display the attribute values of a layer's elements. For instance, labels can display street names on a linear road system or names of cities represented on the map by points.

Labels can either be placed manually or generated automatically by JMap when the data is displayed. The labeling tool is only used for manually created labels.
