Abstract

Many visual languages based on node-link diagrams use edge labels. We describe different strategies of placing edge labels in the context of the layered approach to graph drawing and investigate ways of encoding edge direction in labels. We also report on the results of experiments conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the strategies.
