Has anybody had any experience with the automatic positioning of
labels on a objects in a graphical image?

What I'm really after are some techniques of placing labels
on a visual object keeping in mind that the label must not
overlap other text or other visual objects with greater
priority, and a method of placing text inside an object
in such a way that it is central.
The label inside the object must be placed in the centre of the
largest possible box inside the object proportional to the
dimensions of the text.

Thanks
