Aligning road names in a row in QGIS












3















I am trying to align road names in a row, or column as much as possible in QGIS. I know it can be done in Adobe Illustrator with a mapping plugin, but I don't have the $$ for that.



I tried something like this but it didn't didn't seem to help.



This is an example: enter image description here



It doesn't need to be exactly like that, but I'd like to do something similar.

          (1) Draw a line as the guide for the label position.



          In this example this guideline layer has an id field "fid" with only one value (1).





          (2) Go to the Layer properties | Labels | Placement.



          There you will find Data defined | Coordinate X and Y. Select Edit from each pull-down menu.



          enter image description here



          (3) Give an expression:



          x: x(intersection($geometry, geometry(get_feature('guideline', 'fid', '1'))))



          y: y(intersection($geometry, geometry(get_feature('guideline', 'fid', '1'))))



          enter image description here



          (4) As the final step, please hide the guideline. Select the guideline layer and change the symbology to No Symbols.
