Hello, I have a vector file that has some islands on it. I would like to add labels to the map, but do not want it to add a label to every island, just to the broader category. To illustrate, say I have a map of southeast Asia, I want to put the name of each country on the map, centred over the country. But when I try that (or equivalent), I end up with "Philippines" written over every single island of the Philippines, instead of just over the country itself. I tried to use v.type and convert from centroid to point, and then put the labels on each point, but it takes the centroid for each polygon (island) instead of the broader category (country) so I ended up with the same problem. Can somebody please let me know how to get around this?
Thanks for the help, Tim -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Adding-only-one-label-per-cat-tp4492561p4492561.html Sent from the Grass - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
