Can you clarify what the actual issue is? The second screenshot looks ok to me.

  • Status changed from Feedback to Open

The issue is label rotatioin change when Zooming.
In the first zoom F0030NG26 is oriented as attemped (as describe in the field "Orientation".
In the second, the orientation is not OK (not as describe in the layer).

I've omitted to precise that the same issu appear with Geopackage, geojson or shapeile vectors.

#3 Updated by Jean Hemmi over 5 years ago

Here is a project, geopackage and a raster (all are in EPSG 2154)
Orientatioin is OK when it'is // to wine ranks

Probleme is the same on Ubuntu GGIS 3.5.0-Master Révision du code 429cd0bacd

There's no issue here -- the in the zoomed out version, the label has been placed in the only orientation which allows it to fit (from top left to bottom right). But when zooming in, the label can fit in the "fatter" part of the polygon, so is placed bottom left to top right. This is how QGIS prioritises polygon labels -- it tries to place the label in the places where there's greatest distance from the label itself to the edges of the polygon (i.e. the "fattest" part of the polygon). But when it can't (the first screenshot), it falls back to alternate places to try and make the label fit.

Nyall,
Thanks for your answer that i do understand ! When QGIS3 choose, it'is really efficient !

But I am used to give QGIS a label orientation in properties and QGIS 2 was accepting my demand.
I believe QGIS3 is able to.

Please raise this on the users and or developers mailing for wider discussion (before eventually reopening this), thanks!
