Hello,
Is there a way to force labels to fit inside of a polygon, even if a polygon is
irregularly shaped? I noticed that with POSITION AUTO labels are falling
outside of my soils boundary.
Thanks

The short answer is no. It is an interesting problem, but it does n
You could generate a center point, there is a function that do it in
irregular shaped, and fit the label in it

Right, the problem has two parts:
1) determine potential candidate label points
2) see if the label fits given the constraints placed on how to draw it
This is NP hard problem because it not just a problem of labeling a
single polygon you also have to deal with all the other labels on the
map
