[Qgis-user] Labeling Lines with Bearings

[Springfield Harrison]

Hello Phil & Calvin,

Thanks very much to you both for those tips.

The Vector Shake Tools options were good but required some extra work to 
transfer the new information to the existing layer.  I think I could 
have made it work but then found one of the options in Stack Exchange to 
be exactly what was needed.

This is it:

"And now it is even easier than Kay's answer -first use 'explode lines' 
tool, yielding all line segments, then calculate azimuth with field 
calculator: *main_angle($geometry)*".

This is brilliant, it can be used to populate an attribute field in the 
table or directly in a label formula as desired.  Exactly the solution I 
was looking for!

Thanks very much to you both, this is a great resource…

--------
Cheers, Spring
