[Qgis-user] how to get rid of points and only show labels?

Tue Dec 8 09:24:00 PST 2015

Ok,  but now I’m at a loss as to why there is a SYMBOL on/off button in the first place.

shrinking the symbol to nothing also works.

Hi Bob

Yeah, there is work being done on making the UI UX better at the moment so this might get in.

The label is part of the style hence the disappearance when the symbol is turned off.  Your best bet then is to set the label style and set the symbol style transparency to 100%.  Bit clunky but will give the look you are after.

Ross,

Well that’s intuitive (NOT!).  should have guessed it was something like that, especially as a long time Mac user.  :c)

Thanks.  That was it, sort of, now the label goes away when I click the symbol off . . . I’m labeling from an Attribute column.

Looking for this type of label (see the point in there, I set them back up to a size from the previous “zero” value in order to see the setting take effect), but the label goes bye-bye when I click the symbol off. :

Ah ok

So double click the first rule.
A new window pops up to let you define the rule.
The check box is on that window.

Let me know if that works

Here are the settings before I change to Rule-Based . . .

And then after . . .

Odd

I am running 2.8.3 and the option is there.  But I am running on Windows.  Might be different to Mac OSX.  I can check in an hour or so when I am out of the office.

Ok, I’m in Rule-based, and still don’t see the Symbol check box.

(2.8.1 Mac OS)
