Python Plugin Development in QGIS: How to access label text? I think the answer to this is going to be that once the labels are generated by the labeling engine and rendered to the map canvas, they are saved as svg vectors, and not as strings and are thus irretrievable. I saw this on a blog but I have not yet been able to (had the time to) confirm it, so that is not an official answer. (Also, I have learned that shield labels are being worked on as an add for the much anticipated 2.0) |

Python Plugin Development in QGIS: How to access label text? The strong color buffer is my current solution. However, the client had the boxes (using a script) in their ArcGIS implementation, and they want to see the same thing in QGIS. (We're trying to change systems.) My current answer is that this is not an option, but that is never a fun answer, and I would really like to pull something out of my pocket. Plus, boxes around labels should be something we can do. It just makes sense. |

Python Plugin Development in QGIS: How to access label text? Yes. And I want it done at the layer level, not at the print composer level. I tried automatically generating text callout boxes because I didn't realize they were print composer features, and that was really ugly. |
