I need to add labels to a line layer which I want to sit on the "wrong"
side of the line. I am trying to accomplish this by setting the label
placement to:
* Parallel
* Below line only (Above line unchecked)
* Line orientation dependent position
* Rotation = 180
With "Show upside-down labels" on rendering tab set to always.
This does succeed in printing label below line, but not rotating the
label. I tried other rotation values, and they seem to have no effect. I
also tried setting placement to Horizontal to see if Parallel was,
basically, ignoring the rotation in order to force the label to be
parallel, and that has no effect.
I confirmed that rotation value does work as expected for polygon and
point layers. I notice the docs
(http://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#labels-menu)
specifically say that rotation is available for point and polygon, but
is silent on the issue of lines. And yet the option is present in the
dialog box.
Thanks,
