[Qgis-user] Lables in Composer

[Richard McDonnell]

Thanks for the reply,
I have used the map rotation option within the composer, but the layer 
text also rotates, which is what I am trying to avoid.
An example of what I am on about would be where you have a Label layer, 
with your text horizontal (on Map Canvas).
When you rotate the map in the composer, the text rotates also, what I 
was hoping for is the option to set two rotations for the test, one in 
the Map Canvas for viewing and editing and the other in the Composer for 
Printing.
Regards,

Richard.
