[Qgis-user] problem with cartographic label placement

[gisfisch at t-online.de]

Hello Andreas and list,

 

I am sure I’m not the first one to encounter the problem described below. So I would like to ask again. Maybe someone has an idea?

 

thanks a lot, the solution from Andreas is working.

But the result is not as desired. I was hoping to be able to define a ranking of placement alternatives. That is (in case of ‘B,R‘): place all the labels at the bottom and only if there is a conflict (overlap) with something else place a label at right.

But what I get is: most oft he labels are placed right, even without overlap problems (although I put ‘R‘ at the second place of the list). And only a few labels are placed at bottom. 

 

However, the overlap problem is solved.

 

Is there something I could improve?

 

Thank you and best regards, Uwe

Hi Uwe,

 

I just tried it. 'B,BR' worked for me. Just don't use quotes before and after the separator.

 

Greetings,

Andreas

Hello list,

 

for cartographic label placement, according to the help docs it should be possible to define position priorities in a ranking.

But when I open the editor and enter a comma separated list like:

 

‘B‘ , ‘BR‘

 

I get an error message. Entering just one value it works. But that doesn’t make sense because I need at least two values to let the label move when it collides with a feature.

What can be wrong with my input? I use 3.28.

 

Thanks a lot for help.

 

Uwe
