[Qgis-user] Strike and dip symbology and labels

Hello,

I have strike and dip structural geology data and would like to plot
the symbols with correctly positioned labels for the dip marker. The
strike angle can be used for the rotation in a clockwise direction,
but labelling the dip vector of the symbol is very hit and miss.

A typical data file would be:

Longitude, Latitude, Strike (clockwise from 0 degrees), dip direction
(orthogonal to strike).

Is there an easy method to deal with this? I can manually position the
labels with offsets, but for a lot of data this would be a time
consuming task!

Thanks

Lester
