[Qgis-developer] Plugin layer and labelling

[Chris Crook]

Hi All

I'm updating a plugin to use a plugin layer to display a scale box, and I have a problem with labelling from other layers appearing on top of my plugin layer.


I'm using a plugin layer so that the scale box will appear on the map when it is printed.  It basically draws a filled rectangle and puts some text in it.  The problem I have is that labelling from layers underneath the scale box layer end up plotting on top of it.

Is there a simple way of ensuring that the box appears on top of the labelling.  I'm wondering about drawing the rectangle as a label itself with some sort of custom labelling, but that looks like a lot more work :-(

Is there a simpler way?

Thanks
Chris Crook
