A method and apparatus for graphically displaying data is presented. A computer system selects a section from a group of sections in a circular chart for the data that is to be graphically displayed on a display system. The computer system identifies a largest size for a polygon that will fit in the section of the circular chart. The computer system also identifies text for the section. Further, the computer system displays the circular chart with the text in the section on a display system when the text fits within the polygon in the section. Graphically displaying the data with the text in the circular chart enables a desired level of comprehension of the data.

Chart labeling system

A method and apparatus for identifying a relative importance of words in a word cloud. A computer system identifies graphical features and locations for the words representing information in the word cloud based on a group of metrics for the information. The graphical features distinguish the words from each other based on a first number of first values for a first metric in the group of metrics. The locations of the words distinguish the words from each other based on a second number of second values for a second metric in the group of metrics. The word cloud is displayed on a display system using the graphical features and the locations for the words in the word cloud in graphical user interface, which enables identifying the relative importance of the words in the word cloud based on the group of metrics for the information represented by the words.
