Label placement in forms: what's best?
نویسنده
چکیده
The details of forms design often absorb unreasonable amounts of designers' time. For example, where should labels be placed? The recent fashion has been to rightjustify the labels and place them to the left of the fields is that really always the right answer? This talk draws on the author's 15 years' experience of forms design and on recent eye-tracking data.

Towards an Evaluation of Quality for Label Placement Methods
The cartographic labeling problem is the problem of placing text on a map. It is composed of two phases. In the first, the question which map features should in principle receive a label is settled and the style (i.e. color and font) of these labels is determined. The second phase consists of the actual label placement. In this phase for each feature one has to decide whether there is in fact s...
متن کاملThe Computational Complexity of CartographicLabel
We examine the computational complexity of cartographic label placement, a problem derived from the cartographer's task of placing text labels adjacent to map features in such a way as to minimize overlaps with other labels and map features. Cartographic label placement is one of the most time-consuming tasks in the production of maps. Consequently, several attempts have been made to automate t...

متن کاملTabu Search Heuristic for Point-Feature Cartographic Label Placement
The generation of better label placement configurations in maps is a problem that comes up in automated cartographic production. The objective of a good label placement is to display the geographic position of the features with their corresponding text in a clear and harmonious fashion, following accepted cartographic conventions. In this work, we have approached this problem from a combinatori...
متن کاملLagrangean relaxation with clusters for point-feature cartographic label placement problems
This paper presents two new mathematical formulations for the Point-Feature Cartographic Label Placement Problem (PFCLP ) and a new Lagrangean relaxation with clusters (LagClus) to provide bounds to these formulations. The PFCLP can be represented by a conflict graph and the relaxation divides the graph in small sub problems (clusters) that are easily solved. The edges connecting clusters are r...
