Activate building labels to be shown by clicking a new option in the node options menu

Feature request

Description

As a software auditor, I want to activate a label of a building to be shown, so that I can keep track of the map and keep the view clear.

Acceptance criteria

  • A right click opens the node options (context) menu
  • There, a new option "Show Label" is shown
  • By clicking the new option, the corresponding label keeps displayed and the "Show Label" text toggles to "Hide Label"

Open questions

It might be a good idea to provide some functionality to hide or show all labels with one click.

We currently have the slider to show the labels of the x highest buildings. I never really saw a good use-case for this and really appreciate the idea of this feature request!

Let's remove the slider and add the options to Hide all labels to the AreaSettingsPanel instead. I don't think a Show all labels is needed, since it will just obfuscate the map.

I thought about this before as well and I would like to show the label during hovering. After clicking on a building, I expect the label to be visible even after hovering away. That way there's no need to add an extra option and it's a tad more intuitive. Does that sound good to you two?

But this only allows a maximum of 2 labels being visible. The one you're hovering and the one you've selected. Also the complete path is shown image

I think that labels shouldn't be there automatically. I think that the user should actually enable them for specific buildings. Depending on the mapsize, you could have up to 10 of those.

I guess we should chat about this feature request, as I am not completely certain I am able to follow.

@BridgeAR It would be awesome to have this option also available for adding/showing labels for folders/floors, so that (even on screenshots) the folder/floor names are visible. Untitled Diagram drawio
