[Qgis-user] Re: labelling point layer

[Roland Lieste]

Hi Piotr,

You can work around by adding an extra item (say Angle) to the .dbf file 
via Tools>Data Management Tools>Join attributes. Then double click the map 
layer name to see the Layers Properties (hope this correct, I've Dutch 
version), select the Labels tab > Data-specified alignment and choose your 
attribute in the Angle field. Next switch Modus Object Input, select the 
object in the map window and alter the 
value of the Angle attribute.
Don't forget to save your work by switching again the input modus and 
check the .dbf file using Excel.

For me it worked well when to replace overlapping labelnames of wells quit 
near to each other

Hope this helps (btw I use Qgis 1.0.2-Kore)


Regards
Roland Lieste

Hi Piotr,

this functionality is planned, but I can't give you currently any
estimate when to expect it.
