It is true, but not the whole truth. GDAL does understand certain kind of attributes as drawing styles, see http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_feature_style.html However, I am not sure if QGIS can utilize them automatically. This document contains some examples which should prove that it is possible to associate labels to points and even more http://latuviitta.org/documents/Geospatial_PDF_maps_from_OSM_with_GDAL.pdf. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
