I have an atlas layout in QGIS 3.16 where input data can vary in character length. Therefore I made a override of box height based on text length. The problem I ran into, is that if the text is longer it goes over the next text box. I want to make this text box dependent on min. y position point of box item before. So is there a way to make a relative position of item in layout based on item before?

Normal position:

Longer text:

What I want it to look like.

I am not aware of any relative positioning. Maybe it was implemented already like asked in this post.

Another approach would be to have only one Text Label Input and use HTML Styling. You would only need to replace the div content with your input data:

[%'<h2>Box1:</h2><div style="border: 1px solid black">Foobar</div>
<br><br>
<h2>Box2:</h2><div style="border: 1px solid black">Foobaz</div>
'%]

Render as HTML

  • Thanks... this solves simple problems, but if my next item is not text (for example map), this can not be solved with that solution. I've seen the post you linked. I will ask if any implementations were made.
