[Qgis-user] show labels only, if objects are activated/visible

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Otto,

I don't think that this is possible. As far as I know the labeling is 
totally disconnected from the symbology. Only global filters on the 
whole layer (the filter in the general tab in the layer properties) is 
honored by both labeling and the rest of the symbology. The rest is 
totally disconnected.

I can see value in what you want, but I doubt it is easily possible.

It would also help if we would have rule based labeling, so we could at 
least apply similar rules to the labels as we apply to the symbology of 
features.

Larry probably knows more about that.
