[Qgis-developer] Some questions about labelling

[kimaidou]

Thanks a lot for your quick answers.

I missed the Layers > Labelling menu item. I was looking in the layer
property gui.

I am really impressed by the evolution of Qgis for 2 years. It is becoming
powerfull without beeing too complex.

About the wrapping option, should I write a trac ticket ?
