This mode tries to centre the labels over the top of their corresponding polygons. This mode is fine for regularly shaped polygons. But, since the 1935 inventory region layer contains a dense array of irregularly shaped polygons, the Around Centroid mode may not allow us to easily interpret which label goes with which polygon.

So, if we were to turn on labels and then zoom out to view the entire Island, the individual labels would become far too crowded, and they would not correspond to any particular feature on the map. As in the screenshot below, our map would be unreadable. (Moreover, if QGIS has to load all of our labels at all scales, it takes longer to load our map.)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_816\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"780\"]<img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.upei.ca\/geospatialhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2022\/02\/image013.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.89. Zoomed out version of the updated map.\" width=\"780\" height=\"587\" class=\"size-full wp-image-816\" \/> <strong>Figure 2.89<\/strong>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTo fix this problem, we can tell QGIS to only show labels when we have zoomed in to a certain scale. At this scale, the labels will be readable. Then, when we zoom out, the labels disappear instead of becoming garbled and unintelligible.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Return to the Labels menu in the Layer Properties window.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>In the Rendering menu, check the box next to Scale dependent visibility.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>This means that our labels\u2019 visibility will be dependent on our map\u2019s scale.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_817\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"841\"]<img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.upei.ca\/geospatialhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2022\/02\/image015.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.90.

If the user is at any scale that is smaller than the one that we set, the labels will not appear. So, for example, if we set the first box to 1:50000 and a user zooms to a scale of 1:60000, he or she will not see the labels. Once a user zooms into 1:50000 or beyond, the labels will appear.\r\n\r\nThe second box, the one featuring a plus sign, is where we set the Maximum Scale.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_819\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"841\"]<img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.upei.ca\/geospatialhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2022\/02\/image019.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.92.

So, let\u2019s say that we set the second box to 1:250. If a user zooms to a scale of 1:100, the labels will not be visible.\r\n\r\nUsed together, the two boxes allow us to define the scales between which a user will be able to see the labels.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Set the Minimum Scale to 1:50000.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Set the Maximum Scale to 1:250.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_820\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"827\"]<img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.upei.ca\/geospatialhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2022\/02\/image021.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.93.

Now, we can look at our map and understand two things about the forest environment in 1935: the colour of a polygon tells us the size of a continuous forest stand, and the label of a polygon tells us the type of forest cover that it was.\r\n\r\nWe can use the map we just produced to continue our assessment of land use in PEI in 1935. Which land use type is most often associated with the darkest colour? It appears as though most of the darkest green areas of the map have a LANDTYPE code of CC or SS, or \u201cclear cut\u201d and \u201cmostly softwood,\u201d respectively. Keep in mind that softwoods are usually the first type of tree to grow back in a cleared area once it starts to become a forest again. Thus, the results of our map suggest that a great deal of the trees in this part of PEI had either been recently harvested or they had been harvested earlier and had regrown by 1935. In the 1935 inventory region map, most of these large blocks appear as either \u201cclear cut\u201d or \u201cmostly softwood.\u201d\r\n<h1>Attributes for Feature Labels<\/h1>\r\nIn Chapter 1, we covered how to turn on labels in the PEI_placenames layer and symbolize them. But there are only a few placenames included in this layer. We will create labels for more communities in PEI in this step. Labelling more Island communities will give our audience added context when they are reading our map.\r\n\r\nSome of the communities for which we will create labels, such as Kensington and O\u2019Leary, only emerged once PEI\u2019s interior had been sufficiently cleared of trees.\r\n<h2>Adding New Point Features for Labels<\/h2>\r\nBefore we can add new labels to the PEI_placenames layer, we must first check this layer\u2019s attribute table in order to know which attributes we can assign to the newly created labels.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Right-click the PEI_placenames layer in the table of contents.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Click Open Attribute Table<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_823\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"359\"]<img src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.upei.ca\/geospatialhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2022\/02\/image027.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.96.

In effect, this one map will accomplish what it took two maps to accomplish earlier in this chapter. To do this, we will add labels to the Graduated map that we just made. However, since the labels in this layer are very dense, and the polygons on which we will place them are irregularly shaped, we are going to alter their positioning and rendering settings so that they are easy to read.<\/p>\n<h2>Activation: Turning On the 1935 Forest Map\u2019s Labels<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the table of contents, right-click the layer called 1935 inventory region filtered and graduated.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Click Properties<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Click Labels<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">From the dropdown that initially says No Labels, select Single Labels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_810\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-810\" style=\"width: 841px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.upei.ca\/geospatialhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2022\/02\/image001.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.83.

Now, we can look at our map and understand two things about the forest environment in 1935: the colour of a polygon tells us the size of a continuous forest stand, and the label of a polygon tells us the type of forest cover that it was.<\/p>\n<p>We can use the map we just produced to continue our assessment of land use in PEI in 1935. Which land use type is most often associated with the darkest colour? It appears as though most of the darkest green areas of the map have a LANDTYPE code of CC or SS, or \u201cclear cut\u201d and \u201cmostly softwood,\u201d respectively. Keep in mind that softwoods are usually the first type of tree to grow back in a cleared area once it starts to become a forest again. Thus, the results of our map suggest that a great deal of the trees in this part of PEI had either been recently harvested or they had been harvested earlier and had regrown by 1935. In the 1935 inventory region map, most of these large blocks appear as either \u201cclear cut\u201d or \u201cmostly softwood.\u201d<\/p>\n<h1>Attributes for Feature Labels<\/h1>\n<p>In Chapter 1, we covered how to turn on labels in the PEI_placenames layer and symbolize them. But there are only a few placenames included in this layer. We will create labels for more communities in PEI in this step. Labelling more Island communities will give our audience added context when they are reading our map.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the communities for which we will create labels, such as Kensington and O\u2019Leary, only emerged once PEI\u2019s interior had been sufficiently cleared of trees.<\/p>\n<h2>Adding New Point Features for Labels<\/h2>\n<p>Before we can add new labels to the PEI_placenames layer, we must first check this layer\u2019s attribute table in order to know which attributes we can assign to the newly created labels.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Right-click the PEI_placenames layer in the table of contents.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Click Open Attribute Table<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-823\" style=\"width: 359px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pressbooks.library.upei.ca\/geospatialhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2022\/02\/image027.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.96.
