[Qgis-developer] Bringing diagrams into labeling-ng

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

As with Juergen, I don't have much insight into the code, but the
principle sounds great to me and it would be nice to be able to
interactively place the diagrams as you have done with labels. How
would the diagram's placement be persisted? In the same way as labels
using a specified columns? Some users have requested that label
placement could work like E$RI where the labels can be turned into
graphics and placement is stored in the project file (or whatever the
ESRI equivalent of that is) - so that you don't need to have write
access to the dataset.

Anyway +1 from me, I look forward to your improvements!

Regards

Tim
