[Qgis-developer] Point feature labels: add a "buffer" option around point features

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I have yet another label question: would it be possible to add a 
"buffer" option around labels to avoid overlapping of labels with point 
features, like shown in the attached file: the last "f" of 
"Nänikon/Bahnhof" overlaps with the point feature of "Nänikon/Volg".

I had the option "Discourage Labels from Covering Features" on, but it 
probably only takes the point into account and no buffer around the 
point, so it still overlaps with the point symbol. In this case I would 
have manually placed the label of "Nänikon Bahnhof" to the left of the 
point feature.

Or maybe the label distance could automatically be applied to act as the 
buffer distance for the "Discourage labels from covering features" test?

Thanks,
Andreas
