[Qgis-developer] Labeling of starts and ends of a line

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

So this sounds like its not happening any time soon. Definitely after 
QGIS 2.0

In this case I will do a helper layer and restrict that line using 
linear referencing. My data is in Postgis and I can use its linear 
referencing functions.

For the long run I would want to get rid of that helper layer and find a 
QGIS only solution.

Thanks for your reply!
