<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Uwe,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've not attempted to deal with this
issue before, but it occurred to me that you might be able to use
two labelled layers (duplicates) one locked to each position,
using the labelling priority weighting to apply the ranking. the
only issue is that in sparse data areas both labels might be
drawn, so you may need to ensure that there is sufficient overlap
between the two positions to prevent this.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Cheers,</div>

someone has an idea?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Palatino

a lot, the solution from Andreas is working.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Palatino
Linotype",serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">But
the result is not as desired. I was hoping to be able to
define a ranking of placement alternatives. That is (in
case of ‘B,R‘): place all the labels at the bottom and
only if there is a conflict (overlap) with something else
place a label at right.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Palatino
Linotype",serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">But
what I get is: most oft he labels are placed right, even
without overlap problems (although I put ‘R‘ at the second
place of the list). And only a few labels are placed at
bottom. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
