That leaves you still able to use labels for your original polygons without needing to show that in the legend. Have a look and see if that helps. | |

| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:37 | comment | added | Erik | Afaik .csv don't save styling, so importing a .csv would be of any help - but I might be wrong. Side-note: With you being the "GIS-monkey", this should give you sufficient cartographic knowledge to advise your boss on matters of best practice. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:29 | comment | added | Antje Holderbach | no, its not an issue but these codes / the legend might be amended in the futureand I wanted to find the cleverest way to do it. The other idea I had was to style excel tables accordingly and import them as csv files into the legend. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:22 | comment | added | Erik | Would creating the symbols for the legend manually be an issue? Either workloadwise, or are you creating an online-map rather than PDF/paper? | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:20 | comment | added | Antje Holderbach | @Erik, you speak my mind re. German buerocracy :D But who am I to argue with my boss as the mere QGIS monkey that I am... ;) | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:17 | comment | added | Erik | Ah, German bureaucratic maps. Those are bad cartographic practice, but I know, "we always did it this way"... bla. Two things: 1. Having many labels on a small scale map will render it next to useless when it comes to easily and efficiently transport your information. 2. In my opinion it would be easier to use coloured labels and add the symbols of the labels to the legend manually. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:06 | comment | added | Antje Holderbach | I cannot show labels in a legend as I was taught in my other query here: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/332734/… So I need to create a points layer style similar to what the labels look like- | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:02 | comment | added | Erik |
Do you simply want to label the points and shall the labels have a background? Then have a look at the option background (Hintergrund) in the labeling tab of the layerproperties. If not, please explain more detailled, what you're trying to achieve.
