QGIS - How to color labels from different fields using color expression?












2















I have 2 fields, I concatenate them to show side-by-side but I want to give to each of them different color using color expression.



Is it possible?



enter image description here



p.s. I did coloring using rule-based labeling but I am curious if it is possible using single expression (like: "when case", or "if").



Update



I want the final result to be like below (reds are from "field1", greens from "field2")

          You may be able to use Symbology, rather than Label.



          (1) Choose Symbology tab and add two layers of Centroid fill with the Font marker type. Give negative offset (e.g. -10.0mm) to red, and positive offset (e.g. 10.0mm) to green.



          enter image description here



          (2) Highlight Font marker. Scroll down a little bit further, and click on the Data defined override (a small pull-down menu). Select each of your field for the corresponding color.



          enter image description here



          (3) You will probably have to adjust font size and offset value, by visually checking what you see on the map.

          • Yeah, not bad option. It is similar to "rule-based labeling" that I did. Thank you for your effort. I just want to find out if that "color expression" is capable for that or not. I failed but maybe someone (more advanced in scripting) knows the way.

          EDIT: I misread your question, my apologies. I thought you wanted to select a color using an expression which depended on the value of two fields. Sorry about that.




          Yes you can.



          In the label options for the layer open the color selectio box. You don't need to set any colours here just find the colours you want and copy their hex codes into notepad:



          enter image description here



          In the Text tab for labelling add an expression for the color value by clicking the box shown below and choosing Edit:



          enter image description here



          Then add an expression like the following:



          CASE
          
WHEN "Field1" = 'value1' AND "Field2" = 'value2' THEN '#00ab98'
          
WHEN "Field2" = 'value3' AND "Field2" = 'value4' THEN '#625974'
          
END





          share|improve this answer
























          • WHEN "Field1" = 'value1' AND "Field2" = 'value2' THEN '#00ab98' that makes both fields (where their labels appear together) to be #00ab98. But I want different color for each label in all cases.

          How to label and detect the document text images

          Image
          1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
