[Qgis-user] Label buffer rings

Hi Carlos,
thanx for pointing me to this.
My layer already contained a field "distance" with the buffer rings size.
I added x and y fields to the layer, copied the center points x-value with  
the Info-tool and filled it in for x, and then copied the y-value and  
added the "distance" value to it in the field calculator.

Anyway it would be nicer to somehow just tell QGIS to label into other  
directions than left.
And then being able to align labels to their center would make the world  
nearly perfect.

Cheers
Bernd
