Sandro, the intended semantics is as follows: - with the "map" orientation the "above line" and others should work as one would expect: the label should appear above the line - using "line" orientation the "above line" actually means "on the left side of the line" - so that in case of left-to-right line there is no difference to "map" orientation, in case of right-to-left line the meaning of above/below is reversed to "map" orientation. Does that make sense to you? Regards Martin _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
