[Qgis-user] Displaying Text from OS Mastermap

[Steven Campbell]

Hi Jonathan

 

Thanks for that. I found a work-around. I used a formula to grab the
first X and Y from the multilinestring to create specific x and y
columns, identifying the location for my text. Using this, along with
the orientation column, I can now display my font singularly, but it is
still part of my SQL database (i.e. - I haven't had to split out points,
lines and polygons from my database).

Hi Steve,

 Just a guess, but I'd imagine its the multilineStrings.

 

The loader I use (an FME workbench) converts the text into a line, one
correctly oriented and anchored for each point that was in the original
dataset.

As you can see from my styles and the screenshot -
http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/OS_Styles - QGIS didn't have an
issue with this.

Someone with better knowledge of QGIS labelling may be able to advise,
but the other aspect is to try and load your data so its only a regular
line.

Hi

 

I was wondering if anyone could help. I have my OS Mastermap data stored
in a SQL database and whilst I can style the polygons and lines, I am
struggling with the text. For some reason, when I use the label option
within QGIS, it is displaying the text twice, even though there is only
one record/object there to represent the text. For some reason the
application I have used to extract my GML into SQL has created
multilinestrings for my text, but I don't know if that explains or not
why I am getting duplicate text labels even though there is only one
record in the database....

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Steve
