Abstract

We present new algorithms for labeling a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane with labels that are aligned to the left of the bounding box of $P$. The points are connected to their labels by curves (leaders) that consist of two segments: a horizontal segment, and a second segment at a fixed angle with the first. Our algorithm finds a collection of non-intersecting leaders that minimizes the total number of bends, the total length, or any other 'badness' function of the leaders. An experimental evaluation of the performance is included.
