# Text labels

An option to include text labels, that relate to a given layer, can be found in the ‘Layer type’ options of polygon and point features. If this is enabled, a set of additional parameters is exposed. These allow you to specify which attribute you wish to base the labels on, as well as choose from some simple label styling options.<br>
