Hi, very informative video, I just couldn't find the answer to one problem. If values are the same in some objects and I move one label, all labels of the same value become one, just multiple callouts appear to those objects from that one label. How could I move labels of the same value individually without joining them?
The most common reason is that the label has not actually been moved from it's default location. This is usually done manually with the tools in the label toolbar.
This method is designed for when you want to move individual labels. If you have a hundred labels you need to move individually, you need some patience and maybe a few cups of coffee.
@@KlasKarlsson I have been hunting around for a way to align around 150+ labels in a straight line or curve so that it looks aesthetically pleasing. I am guessing the patience and coffee is still a requirement ? :P
Great video but there is one thing I don't understand or follow. Why is the call out line in the middle of the text as opposed to the anchor point? I'm figuring out a way to control the placement of the call out line. Thanks.
It can be done! If you use the "Change Label" button in the label toolbar, and click a label you have a setting for individual alignment, which (in QGIS 3.4) will change the label anchor point.
Absolutely! Just make a layout with your map and export to SVG. In the export dialogue the default option is "Export text as paths". The resulting SVG will have the texts as path objects.
@@KlasKarlsson Thanks Klas for your quick reply. When exporting "text as paths" as SVG, only the parallel and horizontal placed text will end up as path objects, the curved text will have every letter as a separate object. I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just not possible to have this fixed. As you are a Qgis genius, I was wondering if you might have an answer :)
@@rietema Well the characters are exported as they are created in QGIS, and in the case of curved text, they will be individual characters. If you want them to be one single object as SVG, I suggest Inkscape. Select all letters, object to path (ctrl-shift-c) followed by Combine (ctrl-k). This will make all letters a single path object.
hey man thanks for this video, i have a shape of routes but i checked and has a lot intersection without joining, is a way to join them automatically? i will be grateful for any ideas
If you want to create intersection points and split crossing lines that have no shared vetex point. You can use "split lines with lines" processing tool.
Thanks for the video. Can you add instructions in your description on how to change the label anchor point location? I cannot find the option anywhere in QGIS 2.18.11.
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Leland Hamza thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Nice tutorial but you are not telling us that you have to add the changes as expressions for each field to allow us do the changes. It is crucial to show that especially for learners.
If you use a current release of QGIS you don't need to do any expressions at all. All settings can be automatically created in a project table separate from the data table. Just try to change a label with the tools in the toolbox and select the unique identifier field in the table to connect the individual settings to.
@@KlasKarlsson Thank you, tried it out, works great. Beginner in cartographer and really enjoying your tutorials, learning loads from your RUclips uploads.

Kindly help me in making geological cross sections in QGIS 2.18. Thanks.
hi there Karlsson tried the call out lines but not getting them, what could i not be doing wrong.
The most common reason is that the label has not actually been moved from it's default location. This is usually done manually with the tools in the label toolbar.
How about if you have a hundred labels to move?

Thanks, but In my case the only value option is id, which I can only type numbers but not names...

Hi Klas. Its really useful. But when clicking save editing labels change positions :(.
Thanks for the video Klas! Do you know if it is possible to export curved (street) labels to svg as a type path?
Absolutely! Just make a layout with your map and export to SVG. In the export dialogue the default option is "Export text as paths". The resulting SVG will have the texts as path objects.

@Leland Hamza it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Damari Santana No problem :D
I like ur tutorials in terms of contents, but the font are really too small... I hope u can make it relatively bigger. Thanks
Hi, Mr. Klas! Thanks for your video,
Could you please share me code to "make_line .." please?
If label position fields are called "t_x" and "t_y" then:
make_line( make_point("t_x", "t_y"), $geometry)
Thank you!! you just saved me!
Amazing simply and helpful! Thanks a lot
you are great, u deserve more views
Agree.

@@KlasKarlsson Will try that and get back . Thank you for the response and yes using the latest version.

maybe too slow while changing options!? -__-
thank you
