ABSTRACT:
Techniques for placing sequential or individual labels in an electronic image are disclosed. According to one embodiment, label parameters are determined. These label parameters may include, but not be limited to, label styles, fonts, sizes, or increments. As objects in the image are respectively identified, labels per the parameters are automatically generated and then placed upon or near the identified objects. A tracing line may be automatically added between a pair of an identified object and a label to demonstrate a visual association. When one or more of the label parameters are adjusted, the labels are automatically and systematically changed per the changes.
