Dear List Members, I have a problem with labeling polygon-features using expressions. I want to create different label-classes depending on the area of the geometries (cities, villages, etc.). In most cases, this works quite well but in some cases I get weird effects as some labels disappear on certain scale-levels or get placed on parts of the geometries that don't really make sense.
Looking for a reason for that behavior, I found out that geometry-functions deliver very different values depending on the current scale level. For getting some examples, I labeled one feature with the following expression: 'xmax: ' + to_string(format_number(x_max($geometry), 0)) +' m; ' + 'area: '+ to_string(format_number(to_real($area),0)) + ' m2' results: On scale 1:50,000: 'xmax: 4,479,481 m; area: 232,526,142 m2' On scale 1:100,000: 'xmax: 4,479,481 m; area: 5,343,813 m2' On scale 1:800,000: 'xmax: 4,479,431 m; area: 4,885,325 m2' I can send screenshots if needed. With 'identify features' tool, I get an area of 232,528,728 square meters, which suggests that $area at scale 1:50,000 is almost correct. General info: I'm working with QGIS 2.14, geometries come from a PostGIS-server, geometries and project use CRS DHDN / Gauss-Kruger zone 4 (EPSG:31468), the features I want to label are multipart polygons (I get the same effects using non-multipart features). Does anyone have an idea if I may have missed some settings that cause the mentioned effects? Or may it be a bug in the geometry functions? Thanks a lot for any help!
