2008-06-18 Thread Nikos Alexandris
As far as I understand, there is no mechanism for optimal label placement when labels overlay partially to each other. I think it is an important feature. Are there any work-arounds within grass (except of exporting to lets say SVG and play around with a vector graphics program)? Or any plans to

Nikos: I am fighting to get something on the screen. I have the impression that it works but I can't find the proper size (in metres)? I am not sure if v.label.la supports this, but with v.labels you can do fontsize= and then a standard size is used for all, not based on map units. the idea
