[Qgis-user] how to export label background boxes

[gisfisch at t-online.de]

Hi Andreas,

thank you for your message. „Label export“ sounds good, but I could not find it in 3.28. I searched the Processing Toolbox (PT) for „Label“ and for „export“ but had no luck.

What I found in PT is „Extract labels“, but that crashed QGIS immediately the hard way.


Your github leads me to Fix #51543 and make big forms more fluid by reducing calls to updateFieldDependencies #51836 


I am not sure what the connection to the labels is??

 

I need those background boxes absolutely because that is what my customer wants to receive the data in.

 

Best regards, Uwe

Hi Uwe,

 

This might only be part of the solution - but starting from QGIS 3.24 there is a "label export" processing tool that exports the automatically placed labels to a data set containing the label parameters. I haven't checked though, if it also exports label backgrounds?

 

See https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/51836

 

If it misses the export of the background - perhaps that can be added to that processing algorithm.You can either fix it yourself or ask a commercial support provider.

 

But may I ask why you need these label backgrounds? Are you aware that QGIS has advanced masking available? Search for "selective masking" in QGIS. Label backgrounds in one layer can act as masks in other symbol layers.

 

Greetings,

Andreas

Hello list,

 

does anybody know if there is a way to convert/export the QGIS label background graphics (eg boxes or ellipses) to shapes?

For those who know ArcMap: what I need is what ArcMap creates when Annotation features are written to Shape format, that means: boxes surrounding their text strings like an envelope.

 

Thanks and happy day, U.
