I am using QGIS 3.14. I downloaded world cities name kml, which has markers symbol on every label. I want to display the symbol only on every name which rendered / displayed on exported file. Currently, all symbol are displayed even though the cities name are not displayed, so it will only show empty marker without label on it. How do I filter or hide, so the symbol without names will be hidden in exported file? As you can see all the symbol which its name not displayed are also displayed on the exported file.

Is there a chance to define a QGIS style rule to just show point markers when their label is shown?   My aim is to exclude all points which are not labeled because of collision between labels.  Example:

I wish to display a map in QGIS (world country shapefiles) showing all countries but centered on the Pacific area.   I am not familiar with Proj4, so is there any way this can be done in QGIS?

I cannot figure it out to move Labels in an QGis-Layer. I added two columns (x,y) and set these columns as Data-defined-Position in the layer-properties as descriped in some (older) threads (e.g.  or ).  The button to move the label is greyed out. I am using a shp-layer with polygones in QGis 2.14.  Is there a way to to this (without using a plugin)?  edit: Here some screenshots of the problem:

Every map has symbols that describe things. In the corner of a map, there is a list that explains what each symbol means.  What is the name of that list? (What title should I put above this list)?

In answer to  Klas Karlsson puts forward a solution to the problem of formatting print composer grid labels for projected maps.  I'm very weak on scripting, but in QGIS 2.14 I've tried to enter the text as shown in Klas's illustration, which generates error messages. In my case I'm working with a coordinate system that has a six-digit Easting and a six-digit Northing and I'm trying to get a result similar to that shown in Klas's picture (but with a six-digit Northing). Can anyone help me with this?

/ Background: I have a DWG trace made in AutoCad using Gauss-Kruger coordinate system ( a CRS used in Slovenia ). I'm using AutoDesk Map 3D to transform the coordinate system to WGS84.PseudoMercator EPSG:3857 which is required by Google to show traces on maps. /  I saved the drawing as DXF file, opened it in QGIS, set both project and  layers as WGS84.PseudoMercator EPSG:3857 CRS, enabled 'on the fly CRS transformation' and exported the layers to a KML file (Google format) and tried opening them in Google Maps.  However, the trace is shown in the ocean near Nigerian coast instead of Slovenia.   I also tried opening shapefiles in qgis in viewing the trace with OpenLayers plugin but it makes no difference.  I'm new to this software and CRS.

I've downloaded the SVG icon pack from   Using the Import from URL has never worked for me, so how do I import these symbols into QGIS?   As far as I can tell I need an .XML defining each symbol.

I am using QGIS 2.18.16 on Windows 10.    What I want is a label to appear within the boundaries of a polygon.    I select a layer, then select command Layer>Labelling, and I get:    From here, I can change "No Labels" to "Show labels for this layer".  But I can't actually create label text.  I find a clue in a prior question:    “Labelling polygon using QGIS?”    The answer was:  The layer you are trying to label must have at least one attribute field populated with data. You can then turn on labelling in Layer Properties and select which attribute field to use for your labels.  I can enter command Layer>Open Attribute Table, and what I get is:    If I need something in the attribute table in order to apply a label, how do I accomplish that?

I have a GML layer representing an hexagonal grid that I would like to include in some maps. In QGIS (version 2.14.2) I applied a graduated style and completely removed the polygon border:    However, in the map canvas the borders are still being portrayed:    Zooming in one can see the border around each polygon, it is thin, but it is still there:    Suspecting this was an issue with the map canvas itself, I tried to produce some maps with the Print Composer. Even in vector format the polygon borders are portrayed. Please check these files:       Is there any way to force QGIS to remove these borders?

In the print composer when generating an atlas, does anyone know how to show he feature count per each atlas coverage feature?   For example, I have generated an atlas where each map is a different province (in Cambodia) containing a village point layer. When I click the sigma sign at the bottom of the legend for villages, the feature count will calculate the entire country's number of villages, not for the individual province's number of villages.   Does anyone know how to get a feature count in for the province showing in the atlas?

Running on Mac OS.  I am using a composer template that I have used in the past with this version of QGIS (3.2) that uses an atlas. Now it does not display the Atlas tab in the composer.  The generate atlas box is checked.    I then installed 3.4 with the same result. Next I tried opening an empty composer and loaded a map, still no Atlas tab and checking the generate atlas box had no effect (it did not register -- no tick -- it appears disabled).  I swapped to a near identical system and started QGIS 3.2 opening the same project (it is stored on Google Drive) using the same PostGIS database with the same result.  Anyone have any idea what is going on?   I last used this print template a few months ago.

I'm using the GGeoXml object to overlay KML on an embedded Google Map. I need to customize the popup balloon for placemarks, so I'm trying to use the  element:  &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;Document xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"&gt;     &lt;name&gt;Concessions&lt;/name&gt;     &lt;Style id="masterPolyStyle"&gt;         ...         &lt;BalloonStyle&gt;             &lt;text&gt;                 &lt;![CDATA[                   &lt;h6&gt;Concession&lt;/h6&gt;                   &lt;h4&gt;$[name]&lt;/h4&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;$[description]&lt;/p&gt;                 ]]&gt;             &lt;/text&gt;             &lt;displayMode&gt;default&lt;/displayMode&gt;             &lt;bgColor&gt;DDA39B81&lt;/bgColor&gt;         &lt;/BalloonStyle&gt;     &lt;/Style&gt;      ...  &lt;/Document&gt;   This works as expected in Google Earth, but the embedded map API appears to ignore this altogether. I suppose I could just leave out the &lt;name&gt; element altogether and just put everything in HTML inside the &lt;description&gt; element, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of the  element to display custom data in a structured way.

I have a CSV with an address field (no lat/long), so I went to Google My Maps, imported the csv and geocoded of the records.  Now I export the layer as KML and added the KML to QGIS and Google Earth Pro, but in non of them I can see the markers. In fact in QGIS, the KML layer is added as datatable (no geometry).  What's happening? How can I export a geometry layer from google My Maps?

How to display an ArcGIS legend in kmz or kml file?  I am trying to do so in conversion tool of ArcGIS but while exporting it to Google Earth it is not showing the legend.

In QGIS 2.18, new vector layers resulting from QGIS tools have a default name related to the corresponding tool. For example, when I perform the "Lines to polygons" operation (under QGIS Vector menu), the resulting layer is always named Polygons from lines in the Layers Panel -- even if I ask for the shapefile to be saved under a specific name. When I compute a buffer, the new layer is called Buffer, and so on.  If I recall correctly, this was not the case in QGIS 2.14 (and previous versions): the default name of a layer was the name of its shapefile.  I find the new behaviour annoying since it leads to confusion between my layers; every time I use a QGIS tool, I have to uncheck the "Open output file after running algorithm" option, then manually open the newly created layer in order to display its "real" name. I can also change its name in the layer properties, but this is still irritating.  Is there a way to go back to the traditional behaviour? E.g. display by default the shapefile name (when specified) in the Layers Panel instead of some generic name?

I know I can add KML files once I have unzipped the KMZ files, but is there a way to open KMZ files directly?   When I try to open a kmz file on QGIS 1.8.0 on Windows XP, through the all files filter, it does not accept it as a valid format.   Am I doing something wrong?   Does this all depend on OGR support?
