Hi,
Andreas
An option to put always a label outside from a polygon seem a good
solution only when all the polygon are quite similar size (all small).
Perhaps a better choice could be to have a label outside from a Polygon
only when it is could not be all inside it ?

Hi,
I see that there are some recent new features regarding labelling:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/388e4047a75d155be0e677866f80d7423937ea30
and
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/3a44e294de08ee03c0386179693c61a3f76e5efe
I have a question regarding Nyalls recent labelling improvements (the
new options to act as obstacle layers).
For a polygon layer, would it be possible to force the labels to
always label outside of the feature? As an example I have a
waste-water layer with small polygons representing special-form
manholes (irregularly shaped). These polygons are usually too small to
properly display the label inside the polygon and I would prefer to
automatically place the label fully outside of the polygon.
So, can I have a layer act both, as a label layer and as an obstacle
layer? Or have another option, something like "Force label to be
outside of the polygon", to label always outside of the polygon of the
feature?
Here are two screenshots:
This is how QGIS currently labels these polygons:

And this is how I would label them manually, outside of the polygon,
but hope that a future QGIS version can do this automatically:

Thanks,
Andreas
