[Qgis-user] How to make a raster blocking other labels

[Ludwig Kniprath]

Hi Ann-Christin,

another possibility:

- Create a polygon-layer with feature(s) covering your raster-tiles

- Set it's Layer-Properties -> Symbology to "No Symbols"

- Check Layer-Properties -> Labels -> Placement -> Obstacles -> Features 
act as obstacles

- Set Obstacle Settings:


Regards

Ludwig
