Abstract: "This dissertation describes the development and implementation of an algorithm for performing automated cartographic name placement and provides a methodology for evaluating the graphic output of such an algorithm. Using several implementations of the algorithm presented in the dissertation, the author generated a number of sample maps and distributed them to a panel of professional cartographers for evaluation. The qualitative evaluations were reviewed and compared to run-time performance statistics of the implementations that generated the maps. The author identified sets of parameters that produced acceptable label configurations and that led to efficient use of computer resources. |
