Displaying LABEL with an ANGLE column value

[Manfred Meier]

Hi,

some weeks ago there was a question like this on this list, if I 
understand your question right. The answer was to use LABELANGLEITEM 
with the name of a data column in the dbf-file.

In between I used this in an application and it works good. I use an 
annotation layer with this command LABELANGLEITEM .
