I have labels of a shapefile which I created through Easy Custom Labeling (labeling toolbar). I want to move the labels around manually to arrange them better but QGIS draws a line wherever I move them to. How can I disable this?
'Use custom dash pattern' was off anyway. I tried changing the line width to 0, even the pen to 'no pen' and also changed the value in the 'LblShowCO' column back to Null values. Still I have this annoying line :(
In EasyLabeling there is a column called LblShowCO which is set to 1 or 0 depending on if you have moved a label or not.
This is used to control the custom dash string in the style:
CASE WHEN LblShowCO = 1
THEN
'2;0'
ELSE
'0;2'
END
The easiest way to turn off all leader lines is to turn off Use Custom Dash Pattern in the style. Or set the line to have 0 width, or you can
either set all the values to that column to NULL or remove 0 and then remove the ELSE clause if you need to keep some of the lines.
You could use an alternative solution with the QGIS build-in solution to move labels by adding 2 real-type fields to your layer (LABEL_X and LABEL_Y for example). Then you define in its properties the two field to control X and Y coordinates of your label.
Then you use the label toolbar to move your labels... with no lines :
