[GRASSLIST:10226] Generating non-overlapping labels

Hi all,

I have seen that Mapserver has an automatic label positioning algorithm implemented which selects label positions so that labels don't overlap.

Is there a similar thing for GRASS (like v.label, just with collision avoidance)?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Ralf

I think I saw something along these lines on Computers and
Geosciences. Would you like the pdf?

I'm not sure if I'm the right one to implement this. Too many projects at once...:wink:
