Hello,

In this post, we'll explore the use of the label feature to display field values on a map.
Typically, when we look at a map, as shown below, the names of regions are displayed as text. Using the label feature, we can also display the data values we want to represent alongside these region names.

Once again, let's download the Vietnam border map from the following link and load the adm1 file into QGIS:
https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ab-vnm
For better explanations, I did right-click on the layer > Properties > Symbology > Categorized,
Select Value: ADM1_EN, and press the 'Classify' button at the bottom to visualize the differentiation of Vietnam's first-level administrative areas.
To ensure the visibility of the labels to be added later, let's reduce the opacity of the entire legend to 50%.
You can select all by pressing Ctrl+A in the legend window, and when you right-click in this state, the 'Change Opacity' feature will appear.
Now, different color differentiations are displayed.
Next, let's add names to all first-level administrative areas. Follow the steps below and click the 'OK' button afterward:
Right-click on the layer > Properties > Labels > Single Labels
- Value: ADM1_EN
- Text > Set Font and Size
- Font: Arial
- Size: 5
You'll see administrative area labels added to the main screen as shown below.
That concludes our post on adding labels.
