[Qgis-user] labelling by attribute

Hi Luca,
You can find the images also in the online archives of the mailing list:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2015-June/032464.html (scroll
down to the bottom).
The issue with ArcGIS is that only a very small fraction of the devs and
users has access to ArcGIS - so unless you can point to some public
document that explains an issue or function (e.g. online version of
ArcGIS documentation) there is not much value in pointing us to "the way
ArcGIS" does it.
Greetings,
Andreas
