Cartographic Labeling Basic principles: • Text should be legible • Smooth, likely straight, path • Text should be visible • Always on top of other features • Text may track important features • E.g. roads, rivers • Text should be close to feature
Goals • Legibility • Text must be readable • Surface must be smooth • Visibility • Surface can’t enter occluded regions • Surface must bound object • Proximity • Labels must lie as close as possible to corresponding region • Shape-conveying • Scaffold should retain as much of the original shape as possible.
