Correct layout of a graph with displacements that depend on the transformation parameters. A. The label “Parallel” is anchored to the data point marked with a “+” sign and rotated to be parallel with the preceding segment of the curve. After initial layout, the label protrudes to the left. B. It is not enough to shrink only in the horizontal dimension, as the steeper orientation of the label makes it protrude below the destination area. C. Fortunately, the iterative algorithm automatically detects this and shrinks the graph also in the vertical dimension.
