    Example
    Modify the Placement/Position of labels - Line geometry
    //Note: call within QueuedTask.Run()
    
    //Get the layer's definition
    var lyrDefn = featureLayer.GetDefinition() as CIMFeatureLayer;
    //Get the label classes - we need the first one
    var listLabelClasses = lyrDefn.LabelClasses.ToList();
    var theLabelClass = listLabelClasses.FirstOrDefault();
    //Modify label Placement 
    //Check if the label engine is Maplex or standard.
    CIMGeneralPlacementProperties labelEngine = 
        MapView.Active.Map.GetDefinition().GeneralPlacementProperties;
    if (labelEngine is CIMStandardGeneralPlacementProperties)
    {
      //Current labeling engine is Standard labeling engine
      var lineLablePosition = new CIMStandardLineLabelPosition

      };

    else //Current labeling engine is Maplex labeling engine
    {
