Criteria for Dynamic Maps Labeling

As stated by Been, Daiches, and Yap [2]

  • Except for sliding in or out of the view area, labels should not vanish when zooming in or appear when zooming out.
  • As long as a label is visible, its position and size should change continuously under the pan and zoom operations.
  • Except for sliding in or out of the view area, labels should not vanish or appear during panning.
  • The placement and selection of any label is a function of the current map state (scale and view area).
