Abstract
Edward Tufte introduced the term "Mapped Pictures" to describe a class of illustra- tions which smoothly integrates explanations directly into visualization. He character- ize them like this:
– Explanatory [...] images should nearly alway be mapped, contextualized [...]
– Mapped pictures combine representational images with scales, diagrams, overlays, numbers, words, or images
– An explanatory image is an explanatory image because it is a mapped image
– Sensible mapped pictures nearly always outperform purely pictorial representations for presenting, explaining, and documenting evidence

Tufte also distinguished between primary, secondary, and structural layout elements. We present several prototypes, which automatically integrates secondary and structural elements into interactive environments. Their layout has to be aesthetic in order to sup- port functional requirements such as readability and unambiguity. Keywords: Label Layout, View Management
