<p>Hi Dan,</p>
<p>Interesting problem.</p>
<p>Are these regularly spaced or should they appear at given vertices of the input vector line?</p>
<p>I was thinking that maybe one could use a marker line, with dynamic font markers - but unfortunately there are no "per feature iterators" or "counters" available in the QGIS expressions. If these would be available, it would be an easy task.</p>
<p>Also, the labeling options, combined with the geometry expressions are pretty powerful and dynamic, but again - without iterators ...</p>
<p>Geometry generators also come to my mind, but again - without iterators in QGIS expressions we are blocked.</p>
<p>-----------------</p>
<p>I am forwarding this to the dev list to see if someone has an idea - of course with Python there would be options ...</p>
