[Qgis-user] Geometries of labels - automatic positioning (no covering)

[Matej Mailing]

Hi Silvio.

Basically my issue is that I need to have all the symbols and labels
visible, but since the number of those is huge, I want to have the
need to place them automatically as much as possible. If somehow I
could use the collision engine to recalculate the positions -  I just
need the labels to be visible, the exact label position (little more
to the each side as it must be to avoid colliding) is not important, I
just need them to be visible near the objects basically...

Positioning every label by hand takes an enormous amount of time of
manual work that seems to be meaningless in the current state of
automation :)

Thanks,
Matej

That way, you can lock the symbols and labels to the scale you want to plot your map in and you would have greater awareness and control over the placement of you labels. (assuming that changing label positions manually is feasible in your case)
