Hi Nick You are right about the possible placement of centroids outside the polygon but as you can see from the screen dump in my original post Qgis is fully able to calculate the expected centroids (the brown dots), but ABC labels are apparently placed using an other algorithm even if centroid placement is requested? ----- Regards Morten Qgis 1.8.0 Stand alone installer in Win7 64 bit -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Incorrect-placement-of-ABC-labels-tp4992143p4992332.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
