[Qgis-user] labelling by attribute

Sat Jun 20 14:54:15 PDT 2015

Dear Andreas,

thank you for your hint, i just need to get used to a different
environment. i didn't mean to make comparisons between arcgis and qgis, i
know what are the differences between an open source project and a
commercial software and i'm sorry if it sounded "bad", but really, the
arcgis thing was only for better explaining what i meant and i hoped
someone answered "yes, qgis has that function, just download this plugin /
click on that small icon". anyway, the categorization function in the
symbology section is almost identical to arcgis, that's why i expected
something similar also in the labelling section!
that said, do you have a link for your attachments? i cant see them as i'm
reading in digest mode
