[Qgis-user] QGIS set the feature label background color the same as the feature style color

[Leahy, Thomas A.]

Ujaval,

Thank you for your quick response.
I will look into the information you sent me.

I had found the link below but haven’t had a chance to check it out.

       All the Best,

In the Label -> Background -> Fill Color, you can use the 'Data Defined override' to enter an expression for the color based on a field

See this for more details
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/104706/how-to-create-a-gradient-color-expression-in-data-defined-properties

If you don't want to use the ramps and set individual color values for the background, you can use an expression like

CASE WHEN  "field" = 1 THEN '0,0,0,255'
 WHEN "field" = 2 THEN '100,100,100,255'
END

Hello,

          I am trying to set the feature label background color the same as the feature style color.

  I have features colored differently in Style (Categorized based on a field) and I would like the label background color to be set the same color as the feature style color.
  I have just started working on this and was wondering if someone has already done it and can just tell me how it is done.

           Thanks,
           Tom Leahy
