Abstract
A method for displaying a datablock (31) on an air traffic control display system that upon each update changes a display offset angle of the datablock by a predetermined increment to either (1) rotate the offset angle toward a desired offset angle if the datablock can be displayed at the rotated offset angle without generating overlap between a padded bounding rectangle (53) of the datablock and padded bounding rectangles of any other datablocks, or (2) minimize overlap of the padded bounding rectangle of the datablock with padded bounding rectangles of other datablocks.
