OK, for the record, I managed to figure out the issue. When I created the columns x, y, and rotation, I was accepting the defaults for a Real value which was Width 1, Precision 0. I wasn't quite sure what they meant, but I figured these values were irrelevant, since a double precision number is a double precision number, right? Wrong! Turns out the GQIS editor formats the numbers to these values when it saves the file... I'm guessing that width is the total number of digits saved, and precision is the number of values to the right of the decimal point (though that may be wrong).
In any event, I was looking at the values in the attribute table while still in edit mode, and the values were fine. When saved, however, they got truncated to non-sensical (im)precision (i.e. 1 character wide), and the labels disappeared. Once I reset the values to something with enough width to store the values, it started working fine. I would suggest this is a UI bug. The "default" values for a real number should be something useful. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Help-Problem-with-labels-tp5085583p5094260.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
