18.2.4. The Label Item
The Label item is a tool that helps decorate your map with
texts that would help to understand it; it can be the title, author, data
sources or any other information…
You can add a label with the 
Add Label tool following
items creation instructions and manipulate it the
same way as exposed in Interacting with layout items.
By default, the label item provides a default text that you can customize using its Item Properties panel. Other than the items common properties, this feature has the following functionalities (see Рис. 18.24):
Рис. 18.24 Label Item Properties Panel
18.2.4.1. Main properties
The Main properties group is the place to provide the text of the label.
The text can be static, dynamic with expression
functions and variables, and/or formatted with HTML.
Dynamic parts of a label need to be surrounded by [% and %]
in order to be interpreted and evaluated as such.
To use expressions in labels, you can click on Insert/Edit Expression… button, write your formula as usual and when the dialog is applied, QGIS automatically adds the surrounding characters.
Подсказка
When you click the Insert/Edit Expression… button with no selection made in the textbox, the new expression will be appended to the existing text. However, if you want to modify an existing expression, the behavior changes based on your selection: If some text is selected and the selection is within an expression (between „[%“ and „%]“), or if no text is selected but the cursor is inside an expression, the whole expression will be selected. In all other cases, the selection will remain as is.
Because maps are usually filled with some common textual information (date, author, title, page number, …), QGIS provides a direct access to the corresponding expressions or variables: press the Dynamic text button to select and insert them into your label.
Совет
The top menu can be used to create a new label item filled with the selected predefined expression.
It’s possible to turn a dynamic label into static: press the drop-down arrow next to the Insert/Edit Expression… button and select Convert to Static. Any dynamic parts of the label’s contents will be evaluated and replaced with their current values. You can then manually tweak the resulting text when needed.
Labels can be interpreted as HTML code: check
Render as HTML. You can now insert HTML tags or styles, URL,
a clickable image that links to a web page, or something more complex…
The following code combines HTML rendering with expressions, for an advanced labeling and will output Рис. 18.25:
<html>
<head>
<style>
/* Define some custom styles, with attribute-based size */
name {color:red; font-size: [% ID %]px; font-family: Verdana; text-shadow: grey 1px 0 10px;}
use {color:blue;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Information to display -->
<u>Feature Information</u>
<ul style="list-style-type:disc">
<li>Feature Id: [% ID %]</li>
<li>Airport: <name>[% NAME %]</name></li>
<li>Main use: <use>[% USE %]</use></li>
</ul>
Last check: [% concat( format_date( "control_date", 'yyyy-MM-dd'), ' by <b><i>', @user_full_name, '</i></b>' ) %]
<!-- Insert an image -->

Рис. 18.25 Leveraging a label with HTML styling
18.2.4.2. Appearance
Define font and style of the text by clicking on the Font button. In the Label Font menu you can use some of the options for Formatting the label text.
You can specify different horizontal and vertical margins in
mm. This is the margin from the edge of the layout item. The label can be positioned outside the bounds of the label e.g. to align label items with other items. In this case you have to use negative values for the margin.Using the text alignment is another way to position your label. It can be:
Left, Center, Right or Justify for Horizontal alignment
and Top, Vertical Center, Bottom for Vertical alignment.

18.2.4.3. Exploring expressions in a label item
Below some examples of expressions you can use to populate the label item with
interesting information - remember that the code, or at least the calculated part,
should be surrounded by [% and %] in the Main properties frame:
Display a title with the current atlas feature value in «field1»:
'This is the map for ' || "field1"
or, written in the Main properties section:
This is the map for [% "field1" %]
Add a pagination for processed atlas features (eg,
Page 1/10):concat( 'Page ', @atlas_featurenumber, '/', @atlas_totalfeatures )
Return the name of the airports of the current atlas region feature, based on their common attributes:
aggregate( layer := 'airports', aggregate := 'concatenate', expression := "NAME", filter := fk_regionId = attribute( @atlas_feature, 'ID' ), concatenator := ', ' )
Or, if an attributes relation is set:
relation_aggregate( relation := 'airports_in_region_relation', aggregate := 'concatenate', expression := "NAME", concatenator := ', ' )
Return the name of the airports contained in the current atlas region feature, based on their spatial relationship:
aggregate( layer := 'airports', aggregate := 'concatenate', expression := "NAME", filter := contains( geometry( @parent ), $geometry ), concatenator := ', ' )OR:
array_to_string( array:= overlay_contains( layer := 'airports', expression := "NAME" ), delimiter:= ', ' )
Return the lower X coordinate of the
Map 1item’s extent:x_min( map_get( item_variables( 'Map 1' ), 'map_extent' ) )
Retrieve the name of the layers in the current layout
Map 1item, and formats in one name by line:array_to_string( array_foreach( map_get( item_variables( 'Map 1' ), 'map_layers' ), -- retrieve the layers list layer_property( @element, 'name' ) -- retrieve each layer name ), '\n' -- converts the list to string separated by breaklines )
Display the list of layers with their license strings (usage rights) in a layout
Map 1item. You need to fill the layers“ Access metadata properties first.array_to_string( map_credits( 'Map 1', true ) )
