Re: [Qgis-user] Label display at disappearing at different resolution

2016-04-26 Thread Johanna Botman
Chris,

For what it's worth, I am using QGIS 2.14.1 on Win 7 with 12Gb of RAM.

I was able to get myself out of trouble by making the map A2, changing the
font to map units, and then printing my map at A3.

Hi Johanna,
What version of QGIS are you using on what platform with how much RAM?  I
have found that too much information can be a challenge for even an A2
image export (300dpi) using (2.12 on XP with 3Gb RAM).
What is _scary_ is that some little things get dropped and there is no
warning.
Let us know, Chris

[Qgis-user] Label display at disappearing at different resolution

2016-04-25 Thread Johanna Botman


I'm making an A3 size map of my town where every street needs to be
labelled. And I need to output to a vector PDF.

I have 'Show all labels for this layer (including colliding labels)' ticked
I do not have 'Discourage labels from covering features' ticked.

I have a rule for font size that says if a street is shorter than 100m then
use a smaller font size. This helped to get a lot of smaller labels on the
map, but does not get everything.

When I zoom in on my canvas, I can see the labels, but when I zoom back to
see the whole map, some of the labels disappear. They don't all appear on
the PDF either - but the ones that do not appear aren't always the same as
the ones that don't show on my canvas.

Can someone suggest something that I can do (aside from telling the client
that their request is unrealistic?)
