gvSIG-Desktop 1.10. User Manual
Static labelling automatically creates labels by using values from an existing field in the layer's attribute table. It has been inherited from gvSIG 1.1 and has almost the same functionality that existed before the implementation of Advanced Labelling in the current version of gvSIG.
