Thanks Stefan.   I would appreciate feedback from others on how vertical
alignment for polygons affects their work, plugins, or tutorials.  If
necessary, I can change the default so that it acts like it did before the
mod (for new layers).  Unfortunately, (for existing layers) the default
setting for vertical alignment was "Above the Line" but the Style was "On
the Line", so there could be lots of unintended consequences for existing
layers.   Does anyone have suggestions as to how these could be minimized?

regards,
Larry
