I want to label my lines, but I want to place the labels so that they don't overlap with the line, and preferably even with some distance to the line. I want have added callouts to show what label corresponds to what line.

I have tried a bunch of different settings in the Label menu, but I haven't had luck yet. I did enable "Features act as obstacles".

The screenshot below shows what it looks like now. The callout can be seen on #32.

Use Parallel mode for lableing, set allowed postions to Above line and set an appropriate distance. See the result:

  • Interestingly I did get it to work with "parallel", but in my case making them parallel would make it less reader friendly. I am tweaking these thing in order to make it as reader friendly as possible.

Try entering the 'placement' editing when in the label settings, that should do the trick for you.

    Thanks. But I honestly think I tried all settings under "Placement", with no luck. Well except Geometry Generator, which could perhaps do it, but that is a complex solution which requires that I learn about it first. Could you please be more specific?
