Hi all,
Geoff's plugin works fine for labels. What we (Users) miss is a pointstyle:
the possibility to display different point symbols according to attribute
values.
Does somebody care about?

Dear Larry
I am pleased to see an interest in improving the label style. In my
vertexsymbol plugin I have created an additional label option that has a
range of formatting options, like centre, and 8 compass positions from
the vertex. It is also possible to set the offset distance (in my case
to match the vertex symbol size, or manually). I have also provided an
option to allow (HTML) formatted text to make String type labels more
interesting.
--- These are just thoughts for the built-in label style. It would be
good to see these type of capabilities available in the core.
