All posts - Transparent text boxes in layout
|
Just a little carto technique that might be of interest. Sometimes text over an aerial or shaded relief can be hard to read. One option is to create a layer of text boxes and make them transparent under your text. Lining them up between map and layout is a bit tricky. To make the text boxes have nice rounded corners, use the transform toolbar and do an Inner Buffer with desired distance. On the newly created boxes do a Buffer with the same distance. Reverse selection and delete old boxes. Takes time but at least it can be done. Attachments: Capture.PNG

Thanks for the cool technique. I'll be using it regularly.
