How can I ensure that polygon labels are roughly centered over the visible portion of the polygon?
In this example, the OH and PA labels are positioned nicely, but the NY label is almost at the edge of its polygon - I would like it to be more centered. I have seen many instances of this problem.
I'm using ArcMap 10.3 with Maplex label engine enabled. (EDIT: I should also add that I'm using Data Driven Pages to automatically generate the extent of each map based on feature attributes.)
The colored line layer has a feature weight of 1000, so labels will not overlap it. But I would like the NY label to be placed as close the center of the visible portion as possible without overlapping the green line. If I force the label to stay at the center of the whole polygon, it will sometimes be outside the extent of the data frame, in cases like NY as shown, and this is not desirable.
The states polygon layer is using Regular Placement. It has interior feature weight of 0 and boundary feature weight of 1000. I tried Land Parcel Placement also, and I looked through other placement properties options.
