Label a vector in IQMaps
_____________________________________
I made it possible to view the labels for the vectors in IQMaps. This did not exist before.
Issue: IQMaps software does not allow to include vector label.
At my job, we need to visualize the label with the depth of the current points in order to detect certain underground utilities.
Normally this visualization would be done by switching through tabs from one software to another, but it is very expensive in terms of time, especially when these electricity points can be up to 500 in number.
The classic solution is to use an additional monitor that allows the viewing of 2 software at the same time, but which brings additional costs from a financial point of view such as the purchase of the monitor for each employee and its current consumption.
My solution allows the generation of labels for the desired vector and the import of this label in the IQMaps software, thus having the whole working environment on a single monitor.
The process consists of dividing the extension that comprises the target vector into several tiles, rasterizing these tiles, separating the background text, vectoring the text for each tile and combining them final into a single layer.
Everything is automated through a python script integrated in QGIS which also has a user interface.
