[Qgis-developer] Re: Labels in OS X

[John C. Tull]

I rebuilt, this time with demos and examples. I cannot find anything  
out of the ordinary perusing the examples and demos, but I'm not sure  
if there is anything quite like the labels used for  vector items in  
qgis. If you know of a specific example, I'll do some more testing.  
Otherwise, I'm stymied.

Regarding the string check, I'm not sure how to test that.

Thanks,
John
