Jim, i particularly like http://jibbering.com/2002/8/text-mixup.svg and you'll immediately realise that it is tightly related to the work I do. It's kind of text labelling from the other end of the telescope. we abandoned text labelling precisely because at large font sizes it doesn't work similarly tooltips cover too much area when the font is large. We stuck at using a large font size, 36 or 48pt something like that in a discrete area, which has its problems. Zooming is an alternative, but hardly a solution. Users may be more adept at recognising images or text, but its relatively unlikely that they are identically disabled in both. You wont be surprised that I can't offer a solution immediately. I have had a go at something similar in html, without a lot of fun, and am not greatly tempted to try in SVG compromise is bound to be required, where font size is small, one could expect the whitespace to increase. This is frequently the case in printed media. my guess would be that each word was centred in its own box, and that this box is related to the graphics location which is centred in a similar box. you'll probably be aware that there are also 2 schools of thought: text below and text above. best wishes Jonathan On 8 Jul 2004, at 18:05, Jim Ley wrote: http://jibbering.com/2002/8/text-mixup.svg Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use" irc://freenode/accessibility
