I have labelled a points layer by defining a line between points and labels, so as I could remove the label to outside the map area (Figure 1). Using additional columns in the points layer attributes table (x and y), I can move the labels manually.
To make a line from the point to the label, I have added a 'Geometry Generator' in the Style section of the layer's Properties dialog. To define the geometry generator, I have used the following expression where $x and $y are the features' coordinates and "x" and"y" are the labels' coordinates:
make_line(make_point($x,$y),make_point("x","y")).
My issue is that labels do not align with the line connecting them to features. The labels are basically where I want them, but the line heads elsewhere (see Figure 1). How do I get these lines to basically be positioned from the first letter of the town name to the point?
