Hi Geoffrey,
that sounds like a nice-to-have new function for the core.
But either we would need one "Labels"-layer per layer, whose labels
should be moved with an offset or a field in the attribute-table of the
"Labels"-layer has to specify the Layer which centroids are stored.
In the
Hi all,
I have a questian on the standard-functionality of OJ:
Am I right, that it isn't possible to move the labels of a
(polygon-)layer in OJ?
If I want to do that I will have to create a Point-Layer with all the
centroids of the polygons, transfer the labeling-attribute, label the
Hi Nils,
