Claim One:
1. A method for generating a solution for pulling a label within a boundary of a map utilizing a computer system comprising the computer implemented steps of: determining, if the label is not wholly within the boundary of the map, a fraction of a label area that is inside the boundary of the map, moving the label within the boundary of the map if: a. the fraction of the label area inside the boundary of the map is greater than a predetermined value, b. a distance of a movement of the label is less than a maximum movement permitted from an original position, and c. the movement would result in all vertices located within the boundary of the map, and then outputting the solution to a caller, wherein a boundary of the label is a convex polygon with pre-assigned properties including the original position, the vertices, a type of movement allowed, and the maximum movement permitted from the original position, and wherein the boundary of the map is a rectangle.
