[Qgis-user] Annotations over labels

[Karl Magnus Jönsson]

Hi!
One option could be to use a text symbol with data defined text instead of a label. The geometry for the text could be generated from the geometry generator in the style. Works different but could work in certain cases. In that case I suppose the text would be associated to the layer order and not the labels on top of the map.

Best regards

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.
Simon
