[GIS] Using labels with diagrams in QGIS

diagramlabelingqgis

I'm trying to display point data as diagrams with labes next them. I'm getting the diagrams and labels to work separately, but they won't work together. When both are turned on, the labels disappear and as soon as I turn off the diagrams, the labels reappear.

Does anyone know how to show them together?

You can show both diagrams and labels at the same time by enabling:

Labels > Rendering > Show all labels for this layer (including colliding labels)

If labels and/or diagrams overlap, you may need to adjust the Rendering and Placement settings.

On the 'Advanced' tab of the 'Layer Labeling settings' menu there is the 'Engine setting' button. If you open that dialogue, you will see the option to show all labels, including colliding labels. That should give you more control and a more consistent behavior.

Something I used to do previously when I had similar problems with label placements is to create centroids of the polygons (vector - geometry tools), label those using the option to label over point and then move the points around to ensure perfect placement of your labels.

Go to your Layer Properties and to the Labels tab. Click on "Expression" and then set it up so it displays the field that contains your percentage followed by a & "%". The whole thing will look like this:

[Field] & "%"

When you go back to your map, your labels should show the number followed by a percentage sign.
