Improve initial label placement #870

Open hjanetzek opened 8 years ago

hjanetzek commented 8 years ago

Instead of a priority-based/greedy initial placement one should also consider the number of conflicts of each label candidate (for features with multiple label candidates).

This method is implemented by the PAL library which is used in QGIS: http://www.lac.inpe.br/~lorena/missae/sbc_Missae.pdf
