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

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Folks,

 

To turn on the ‘show candidates’ click on the little gear to the right of ‘Single labels” then tick the ‘Show Candidates (for debugging)’

 

Cheers - Phil

Hi,

 

How can I try this option of the rendering engine that displays the labeling candidate paths so I could play with the number of candidates?

 

Thanks,

Matej

Hi,

no magic anwser here again. But when I face this kind of need, I switch
on the option of the rendering engine that displays the labeling
candidate paths, and play a lot with the number of candidates.

Of course, the more candidates, the more CPU work, but the more chances
to have a 99 % good result. 

Best luck

Régis

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)
