You can use pstext to add text for each layer (which can be on the page - does not have to be in the map extent. At the end ps2raster can convert the postscript to bitmap which you cam add to your layout in the QGIS composer.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421601829016_2941"><span></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421601829016_2992" dir="ltr">Depending on how complex your layers are, the script can get a bit complicated... the nature of the beast.
