Floating Labels: Applying Dynamic Potential Fields for Label Layout

摘要: This paper introduces a new method to determine appealing placements of textual annotations for complex-shaped geometric models. It employs dynamic potential fields, which consider attractive and repulsive forces between pictorial elements their labels. Several label candidates are computed evaluated according weighted penalty functions. The individual weights can be adjusted global design decisions or user preferences. Moreover, the re-arrange labels whereas system re-adjusts remaining is demonstrated by Floating Label system.
