Text annotations how to#

Select all data, sort by counter (see item 6).

Copy that down to all TextAnnotationItem cells.

Copy those formulae down all the AnnotationItem frameHeight rows. Do the same just so you can easily copy paste) In column C, right of the AnnotationItem frameHeight rows, insert this formula: '=RIGHT(LEFT(B2,(FIND(' canvasPosY',B2)-2)),(FIND(' canvasPosY',B2)-2)-(FIND('mapPosX=',B2)+8))'

(I added a row at the top for labels, hence B2 not B1.

I had to remove triangular brackets to post this).

Then deleted all rows not beginning 'TextAnnotationItem document=' or 'AnnotationItem frameHeight=' (this removes all the junk.Then sorted everything by column B (the data).This allows me to reintegrate everything later. Then added a counter column in front of that and trend filled from 1,2,3 to the end (I have a lot of labels).

Since I don't know how to use xml data, I copied all the AnnotationItems and pasted them into Excel (libreoffice) in one long column.Within that there's an and within that mapPosX='' and mapPosY='', with the long/lats in the quotes. Notice the html/xml style format and that the text annotations have their own entries. Open 'only_labels.gqs' with a text editor.Delete all the layers, leaving a white screen, and the text annotations.Save your existing map, including existing text annotations.Since there doesn't seem to be an answer, here's my effort:
