        1. Mike's awesome retro style has been really inspiring. It's been the final kick I needed to look into #QGIS label masks 🧵 @thisismikehall/1550504777854980104

        There are a lot of things going on in this map style, but label masks mostly affect rail lines and potentially roads

      These masks ensure that rail lines are not drawn crossing through city labels. And I've also used masks to keep the inside of the large city markers free of both rails and roads

    To achieve this, I put another label with a circle character ◍ right on top of the marker. This color can be made transparent and the label mask will still be applied

      💯 There are very few things that feel as rewarding as the moment when all your automatic labeling settings start to come together @MatthewHMalone/1554421311883153409

        When labeling works right, it looks effortless, but it can be hard to get there. Still wondering about how to improve lake labels without going manual

          Decided to go with one center line placement and one horizontal placement
