Zusammenfassung
The cartographic labeling problem is the problem of
placing text on a map. It is composed of two
phases. In the first, the question which map
features should in principle receive a label is
settled and the style (i.e.\ color and font) of
these labels is determined. The second phase
consists of the actual label placement. In this
phase for each feature one has to decide whether
there is in fact sufficient space and, if yes, the
best location and shape of the label must be
determined. This paper proposes a quality measure
for the result of the second phase, allowing the
comparison of label placement programs.
