I'm using 1.7.0 and trying to define a set of styles for use with text layers (point shapefiles).

I could load the layer many times, each with each layer only showing (and therefore styling) a single logical text type, but this could add a LOT of layers with a major impact on rendering speed.

Re: [Qgis-user] Text styling and placement
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andrew, Are you using Postgis as a data source? If yes, you can set up views containing the styling attributes based on rules. Also, the view can help to set data read only. In QGIS you can combine fixed with dynamic attributes. E.g. you can set the text color fixed, but the rotation and size dynamically. Be sure to use the new labeling engine - the one with the ABC button, not the one in the layer properties. I agree though, that it would help to set rules for labeling in QGIS, e.g. different settings for different scale ranges - similar to the rule based renderer. This would help to significantly reduce the nr of layers needed for labeling.

[Qgis-user] Wikimapia and QGIS
Hi Guys, Yesterday, I put up the following suggestion at the QGIS Forum and have been advised to bring the matter up in the Mailing List: Tinkering around with OpenLayers plugin, I've found it to be a very valuable asset in being able to impress potential users how to import Google Maps as a base. They are often excited to know this and it seems to generate wannabe QGIS users very easily. This brings me to another source of information namely Wikimapia. Zooming down to information provided by users on Malaysia, I am equally impressed by such voluminous information they have. My humble suggestion is...Who is kind enough to make it possible to at least get Wikimapia viewable in QGIS just like Google Hybrid can and maybe make it possible to import their attributes with aid of Open StreetMap. I am sure this will intensify the popularity of QGIS. Hoping this idea will materialize in days to come.

I could load the layer many times, each with each layer only showing (and therefore styling) a single logical text type, but this could add a LOT of layers with a major impact on rendering speed. I could save the layer as several layers, but this would be time consuming to do and also be much slower to render. Have I missed a trick, or is this something that I should request as an enhancement? Andrew ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
