Detailed Description

Definition at line 123 of file qgspallabeling.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ DirectionSymbols

Enumerator
SymbolLeftRight 

Place direction symbols on left/right of label.

SymbolAbove 

Place direction symbols on above label.

SymbolBelow 

Place direction symbols on below label.

Definition at line 217 of file qgspallabeling.h.

◆ LinePlacementFlags

Line placement flags, which control how candidates are generated for a linear feature.

Enumerator
OnLine 

Labels can be placed directly over a line feature.

AboveLine 

Labels can be placed above a line feature.

Unless MapOrientation is also specified this mode respects the direction of the line feature, so a line from right to left labels will have labels placed placed below the line feature.

BelowLine 

Labels can be placed below a line feature.

Unless MapOrientation is also specified this mode respects the direction of the line feature, so a line from right to left labels will have labels placed placed above the line feature.

MapOrientation 

Signifies that the AboveLine and BelowLine flags should respect the map's orientation rather than the feature's orientation.

For example, AboveLine will always result in label's being placed above a line, regardless of the line's direction.

Definition at line 183 of file qgspallabeling.h.

◆ MultiLineAlign

Enumerator
MultiLeft 
MultiCenter 
MultiRight 
MultiFollowPlacement 

Alignment follows placement of label, e.g., labels to the left of a feature will be drawn with right alignment

Definition at line 224 of file qgspallabeling.h.

◆ ObstacleType

Valid obstacle types, which affect how features within the layer will act as obstacles for labels.

Enumerator
PolygonInterior 

avoid placing labels over interior of polygon (prefer placing labels totally outside or just slightly inside polygon)

PolygonBoundary 

avoid placing labels over boundary of polygon (prefer placing outside or completely inside polygon)

PolygonWhole 

avoid placing labels over ANY part of polygon. Where PolygonInterior will prefer to place labels with the smallest area of intersection between the label and the polygon, PolygonWhole will penalise any label which intersects with the polygon by an equal amount, so that placing labels over any part of the polygon is avoided.

Definition at line 238 of file qgspallabeling.h.

◆ OffsetType

Behavior modifier for label offset and distance, only applies in some label placement modes.

Enumerator
FromPoint 

Offset distance applies from point geometry.

FromSymbolBounds 

Offset distance applies from rendered symbol bounds.

Definition at line 172 of file qgspallabeling.h.

◆ Placement

Placement modes which determine how label candidates are generated for a feature.

Enumerator
AroundPoint

OverPoint 
Line 

Arranges candidates over a point (or centroid of a polygon), or at a preset offset from the point. Applies to point or polygon layers only.

Arranges candidates parallel to a generalised line representing the feature or parallel to a polygon's perimeter. Applies to line or polygon layers only.

Curved 
Horizontal 

Arranges candidates following the curvature of a line feature. Applies to line layers only.

Arranges horizontal candidates scattered throughout a polygon feature. Applies to polygon layers only.

Free 

Arranges candidates scattered throughout a polygon feature. Candidates are rotated to respect the polygon's orientation. Applies to polygon layers only.

OrderedPositionsAroundPoint 

Candidates are placed in predefined positions around a point. Preference is given to positions with greatest cartographic appeal, e.g., top right, bottom right, etc. Applies to point layers only.

PerimeterCurved
