[Qgis-user] Map Composer and Attributes from a layer

[Randal Hale]

Is it possible to insert an attribute into map composer? I'm thinking it 
is but I'm stumbling just a bit.

I have a layer that will change through time. I want to insert the name 
of the polygon into map composer with the area as part of some text at 
the bottom of the map. I am thinking I use the getFeature and/or the 
attribute function to insert an expression - but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm pulling the data from postgis so I can create a view with just that 
one polygon if that helps.

Thanks so much - not that it probably matters but Ubuntu 14.04 QGIS 2.6.1

Randy
