Package ilog.views.graphlayout.labellayout Description

A generic framework for the label layout services provided by JViews, which can automatically place labels at graphic objects such as nodes and links.

A label is a text or decoration that should be placed close to some graphic object, because the label indicates the meaning of the graphic object. The JViews Label Layout algorithms help to place the labels without overlaps.

Labels occur in many application areas: in diagrams, geographic maps, charts and so on. The JViews Labeling algorithms can be applied to all these areas, that is, it is not restricted to place labels in a graph. For instance, if you want to place labels at the cities in a geographic map, you can use the Annealing Label Layout Algorithm with appropriate point label descriptors.

The following images show samples of the Annealing Label Layout Algorithm.
