[Qgis-user] data defined labelling field details?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi William

Do you use the new labeling?
If yes:

bold/italic/underline/strikeout expect int (0 means false )

Strings
For horizontal alignment: 'Left', 'Center', 'Right'
For vertical alignment: 'Bottom', 'Base', 'Half', 'Top'

> Color - RGB values (in a char field)?
Hex representation, e.g. #ff0000 for red

Regards,
Marco
