QGIS – How to Read Points Value by Hovering Mouse Pointer on Points

coordinate systemlatitude longitudeqgisraster

I am new to QGIS and learning daily, and I find it very interesting day by day. I have come up with a problem here. I stacked points on a sentinel2 image. The points data I imported from a CSV file; the CSV file contains latitude, longitude and their corresponding values. I can see points scattered over the image. Finally, I want to read those points' value hovering the mouse cursor over the points. I can see values while opening the attribute table, but I couldn't figure out how to read those points' value using the mouse cursor. Is there a way to do it?

Some solutions :

  • In the point layer properties, go to the Display tab and select the field as Display name with the dropdown list (or set an expression). Now, with the identify tool, when you right-click on a point feature on the canvas, the value is displayed. If multiple points are stacked, a list of all values appears.

  • In the point layer properties or in the layer styling panel, you can go to the label tabs and configure labels for displaying data or expression next to the features.

  • If you use the identify tool, you can read all attributes for the selected feature.
