values in the same table or geometry properties like area, length, etc.
   - Annotation Layer:
               - It can be generated from feature layers with any kind 
og geometry, not just points.
               - A new independent non-virtual layer is created and 
persisted as shp.
               - The original layer is not removed from the View.
               - The table associated to the new shp file contains 
fields for Text, Font, Color, Height and Rotation.

layer”, where it is possible to choose units (meters or pixels), to draw 
text only, etc.
               - In the “Add Layer” dialog, a new tab allows loading of 
Annotation layers.
               - The process can eliminate duplicated labels.
               - The annotation layer can be generated from selected 
features.
               - The process can eliminate overlapping labels.

the database Schema name to save to.
   - Export to raster:
               - A raster can be exported, either a complete layer or a 
selected area, to a TIFF file.
