| Description | Process of automated labeling of maps is a never-ending story of present cartography. Many cartographers are trying to speed up this time consuming process with smaller or greater success. Many algorithms have been developed over the decades since digital versions of maps existed, but only few of them work properly. Now there are some tools how to improve names placement process, but we do not know how helpful these tools are or are not. The aim of this article is to show how useful are the algorithms for automated names placement. |
