How would one fill a polygon with a custom text? I know you can use this approach to create a label-wise polygon filling (= labeling polygon with their attribute's values), but is there an option to just specify a simple text (not a simple character!) as an filling attribute?

This is the desired result for the polygons with the the example text "Example":

  • should this be always the same text for every polygon in this layer? or is it a text string from the attributes?

  • The same text for every polygon. See the example image in the updated OP.

You can use the method outlined in the question that you linked to but instead of specifiying an attribute just use a string in the data defined properties of the font marker. You will need to adjust the font marker spacing and font size to suit.

  • Tried that, but with string in double quotes, so it didn't work, and I gave up too quickly! Thanks! #facepalm

  • mixedbredie, but how it is possible to minimize the number of signatures up to one, to be able to put a single layer name in the middle of the polygon? Many thanks!
