[GRASS-user] adding labels to a map

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to display labels for a layer; however, when I use the GUI to add the labels, it shows labels for each centroid instead of the polygons that I want. The layer is the Southern US and I want to display state names (1 name for each state); however, the label is based on centroids and it shows more than 1 centroid in each state.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am running GRASS 6.4 ORC3.

Thanks,

Andrew
