QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — SmartLineLabeler supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
SmartLineLabeler is a QGIS plugin that automatically creates clean, readable, stacked labels for overlapping line features—ideal for utilities, telecom cables, pipelines, and any dense linear network. It lets you interactively draw label positions and generates a dedicated label layer with customizable HTML-styled text for professional cartographic output.
About
✨ Key Features - Stacked labels for overlapping lines: Automatically generates multi‑line label blocks for all features intersecting your drawn placement line. - Interactive label placement: Draw a short “rubber band” line to define the exact position and angle of the label group. - Dedicated label layer: Creates a temporary or permanent layer containing the generated labels, keeping your source data untouched. - HTML-based label styling: Supports bold, color, multi-line formatting, and other HTML features for highly readable technical labels. - Configurable attribute mapping: Choose which fields to include in the label and how they should be formatted. - Ideal for utilities and infrastructure mapping: Works especially well for telecom cables, pipelines, fiber bundles, and other dense linear datasets.
