[Qgis-user] Label on the line

[Stephen Wandling]

I inputted Contour lines from a shape file.  I want to put the label 
(elevation) on the line.

QGIS 2.18, in Contours/Properties, will not allow me to select 'on the 
line' only and will select 'above' the line' also.  When I accept this, 
it always places it above the line.  I am pretty sure I did this in the 
recent past and had the label on the line, but I cannot remember how I 
managed that.

Any assistance will be appreciated.
