Improve label positioning in stellar orbit graphic #46

Open MyrionPhoenixmoon opened 8 years ago

MyrionPhoenixmoon commented 8 years ago

Currently the label offset is calculated based on which quadrant the planet is in. This was fine when the stellar orbit graphic was static, but leads to unacceptable jumping around, now that the graphic is animated.

This should be improved.

It might be, however, that solving #45 resolves this issue too.

Maybe adjust the label position so that it is on the line connecting the star and the planet, on the outside of the planet. That would lead to smoother movements, at least, even though it might not always be the optimal position considering the position of other planets.
