[Qgis-developer] Shields for Labels

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Folks

Is anyone else interested in being able to have shields for labels
(e.g. to mark highways etc.). I've made an initial stab at it - you
can see an example and git details in case you want to try it in the
link below. Is there any interest in getting this into trunk? Maybe a
better way of doing things? I thought of using SVG shields but I think
it might be a performance killer if you have many labels and each
needs scaling.
