Hi Larry, thanks for your effort, I think this new function would be a nice and useful option for labeling! I don't know if I am getting the problem correctly, but couldn't the entries of the "vertical alignment"-combobox be changed to "above the feature", "on the feature" and "below the

I made an experimental change to LabelStyle to allow vertical alignment to work for polygons and not just points and lines. For maps with polygon layers that are not space filling (i.e. buildings), the preferred label position is outside of the polygon, and you would choose a vertical alignment
