Objects can be labeled with information about their geometry (coordinates, length, area) and / or with the attribute values set in the layer control. The label is a static text object in the cosmetic layer. Changes to the object do not track the label. Coordinate values are determined in the projection of the map window.

Activate the tool button and click in the map window on the place where the label should be inserted.

The current column values are displayed on the dialog. A change is possible via the Layer Control -> Layer Properties -> Label Display.
