[Qgis-user] Labelling

[Piotr Pachół]

Hello Martin,

1. What I mean about angle units and angle rotation style:
Yes, I would like that user  may choose between units (deegrees or grads)
and between  rotation styles (geographic  and  arithmetic).
Do you plan to add  such a possibility ?  

2. Now there are two possibilities of creation labels:
- first standard: Layer properties ->labels,
- second with your plugin.
When I use both types of labelling each label is generated twice.
Do you plan to integrate both types of labeling ?
If the integration not be soon may be it would be good idea to add some 
check box.
When the  box is on - qgis uses labelling plugin, when off qgis uses 
standard labelling.

Piotr
