This book focusses on techniques for automating the procedure of
creating external labelings, also known as callout labelings. In
this labeling type, the features within an illustration are
connected by thin leader lines (called leaders) with their labels,
which are placed in the empty space surrounding the image. In
general, textual labels describing graphical features in maps,
technical illustrations (such as assembly instructions or cutaway
illustrations), or anatomy drawings are an important aspect of
visualization that convey information on the objects of the
visualization and help the reader understand what is being
displayed. Most labeling techniques can be classified into two main
categories depending on the "distance" of the labels to their
associated features. Internal labels are placed inside or in the
direct neighborhood of features, while external labels, which form
the topic of this book, are placed in the margins outside the
illustration, where they do not occlude the illustration itself.
Both approaches form well-studied topics in diverse areas of
computer science with several important milestones. The goal of
this book is twofold. The first is to serve as an entry point for
the interested reader who wants to get familiar with the basic
concepts of external labeling, as it introduces a unified and
extensible taxonomy of labeling models suitable for a wide range of
applications. The second is to serve as a point of reference for
more experienced people in the field, as it brings forth a
comprehensive overview of a wide range of approaches to produce
external labelings that are efficient either in terms of different
algorithmic optimization criteria or in terms of their usability in
specific application domains. The book mostly concentrates on
algorithmic aspects of external labeling, but it also presents
various visual aspects that affect the aesthetic quality and
usability of external labeling.
