Description

There have been two threads on QGIS in the last two weeks with people having problems with labels not showing using the new labelling tool. See

http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/12758/when-labelling-polygons-not-all-labels-are-displayed-qgis-1-7-0
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/13518/how-to-move-labels-in-qgis-using-the-old-labelling-method

In my case (the 2nd link) I have 2 or 3 polygons that refuse to show labels, even when I set Show All Labels in the Engine settings. They show using the old labelling method.

I am using QGIS 1.8 on Windows XP. I can supply sample if needed.

History

#1 Updated by Martin Dobias about 13 years ago

Please provide some sample data. Maybe some of the polygons do not have a valid geometry and the labeling fails for them.

#2 Updated by James Stott about 13 years ago

The problem is exactly that. I ran the check geometry validity tool and it found two errors. I fixed these, and the labels show.
