Morten - I selected one polygon (one of the troublemakers, FID:10) from your shapefile and created a new shapefile with only this polygon. Even with only one polygon in the layer, you'll still get a label that's placed incorrectly when using the Over Centroid option . You have two

Hi! You are right about the possible placement of centroids outside the polygon but as you can see from the screen dump in my original post Qgis is fully able to calculate the expected centroids (the brown dots), but ABC labels are apparently placed using an other algorithm even if centroid

[Qgis-user] Incorrect placement of ABC labels

2012-07-31 Thread magerlin
When trying to label a polygon layer I wanted to place the label over the polygon centroids. This should be possible by selecting the ABC Advanced pane and ticking off over centroid. But it seems ABC is rather poor at calculating the centroids. In the image below I have used Vector/Geometry

Hi, In the image below I have used Vector/Geometry tools/Polygon Centroids/ to add the polygon centroids and especially for some of the small polygons the labels are far off (even though these polygons are very regular - they are made as buffers around a line).
