I have two polygon layers (polygons) that overlap. I've created a leaflet map using qgis2web. The issues is that, if I click on the overlapping area, the popup only shows information for the topmost layer.

Is there a simple way to show information for all the overlapping features? Here you can download my project: overlappingpolygons.zip

From what I've read here, I think I should probably use the point in polygon plugin?

This is my first week working with Leaflet and I am a bit lost.

    Check out gis.stackexchange.com/questions/315564/… it was a point in polygon thing. Commented Aug 15, 2019 at 13:24
  • Typically when clicking on an area of the map, users are only shown info in a pop up for one feature at a time. In order to view the info for another feature below the top one, the user cycles through the pop ups for everything at the clicked location. This is standard UX for 99% of the GIS applications. Do you want to see everything at that location in one popup? Or do you want to be able to cycle through pop ups?

  • Thank you Bill and @Stella. Being able to cycle through the popups would be ideal. But dispaying all the information at once would also work. I would be happy if I was able to achieve any of the two.

  • Thank you for code that you provided here Bill. I want to get the feature information on mouse click for all the layers in the popup model. One layer is point layer (wfs ) and the other is a WMS. could you please guide me how can I do that ?

Here are a couple working examples. I take a mouse click event, get coords and use Turf to do a point in polygon check if it's there return some attribute to a variable. Next do the same thing for the second layer and third put the values in a bootstrap dialog.

Right click view source to see my code.

Note turf.inside should now be turf.booleanPointInPolygon, but in my page either works, however inside has been depreciated.

Using a bootstrap dialog: http://www.gistechsolutions.com/leaflet/DEMO/pointsinpoly/ Using a bootstrap dialog with Tabs http://www.gistechsolutions.com/leaflet/DEMO/pointsinpoly/indextab.html Zip file of my pages and datafiles. http://www.gistechsolutions.com/leaflet/DEMO/pointsinpoly/pointsinpoly.zip

  • This is a very nice solution. I'll see if I can manage to apply this on my map, thank you!
