Re: [Qgis-user] can't apply mask on labels

2024-03-07 Thread Emma Hain via QGIS-User 
Hi All
The mask option is great but if you cannot use it, I often grab a color
using the color picker from the background image and use that as a buffer
at 0.7. I choose the color that appears the most in the background image -
so sometimes dark and sometimes light.
Cheers
Em

Allowing bigger attachments might make our inboxes grow substantially. 
Mailing lists really aren't that useful in my opinion as you receive 
tons of mails when subscribed and lose considerable on ability if you do 
not keep them all, forever.


I really like the idea of a Discourse forum 
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2024-January/053842.html , 
there it would be no issue if people posted big images or fancy 
formatting as the messages are stored on the server for us and one can 
selectively subscribe via mail or visit with a browser.


All the best, Hannes

Hi Richard,

Is there a chance/way to increase the size limit from 200k to let's say 
1MB. Most Screenshots are  bigger than the 200k and it is really 
cumbersome, having to post images on some other platform in order to 
share it with the mailing list.

Re: [Qgis-user] can't apply mask on labels

2024-03-07 Thread Andreas Neumann via QGIS-User 
 Hi all,

The mask is more flexible and cartographically more pleasing if you don't
have a homogenous single-color background on your map. The mask is the only
way to get rid of darker colors while keeping light background colors.

See f.e. this example here:

https://s.geo.admin.ch/bb5itd6k85y7

Have a look at the large labels "Pfaffhausen", "Benglen", "Schwerzenbach"
and "Fällanden". Darker colors from roads (black) and rivers (blue) are
masked, but lighter colors from forests, lakes and hillshading are
preserved. The mask is the only way to achieve this "selective" effect of
masking.

All other options like background rectangles or buffers have a fixed color
and only work on a homogeneous background. They wouldn't be able to achieve
the effect of the example above.

I hope this clarifies the difference in the approaches?

The only major problems with the masks are the following limitations
(hopefully they can be removed in the future):
- they cannot be used within the same layer (you need to duplicate layers
if you want to mask features with labels from the same layer)
- they don't yet work on vector tiles, because vector tiles aren't real
QGIS vector layers with all the symbology options. They only have a limited
set of symbology so far

Greetings,
Andreas
