[Qgis-user] Annotations over labels

[Simon Gröchenig]

Dear Andreas,


thank for your answer.


Currently, my workaround is hiding overlapping labels with the label toolbar. However, it is not easy to restore hidden labels (for non-professional GIS users), especially for layers without symbology like house numbers.


I submitted a possible solution where area-like annotations could act as blocking label obstacles: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/60872

Dear Simon,


I am not 100% sure, but to the best of my knowledge, labels are always rendered on top of everything else.


It would require an architectural change in QGIS in order to allow a change in rendering order of labels.


I agree that in some cases it would be nice being able to render other objects on top of labels.


Sorry that I don't have a better response,
Andreas

Hi list,

how can I draw annotations over labels of a vector layer?

Apparently the z-index of labels is independent of the z-index of annotations.

I would like to avoid using the manual "Hide label" action from the label toolbar.
