Tom Wickham-Jones' book "Mathematica Graphics" describes
and uses a package (ExtendGraphics`LabelContour`) to do
this (amongst many other things). The electronic supplement,
including this package, is available on MathSource,
Wolfram Research's electronic library of Mathematica
materials.
Here is the MathSource description:
0205-041: Mathematica Graphics: Techniques and Applications by
Tom Wickham-Jones, Electronic Supplement
Tom Wickham-Jones
Revision date: 941206
These files form a set of extended graphics functionality
and are used and described in the book "Mathematica Graphics:
Techniques and Applications" by Tom Wickham-Jones, published
by TELOS/Springer-Verlag 1994 ISBN 0-387-94047-2. They
provide functions that include the plotting of surfaces and
contours over random data sets, labelling of contour lines,
plotting contours subject to a constraint, smoothing contours,
plotting field lines, a collection of geometric functions in
two and three dimensions, as well as the ubiquitous fractal
plot. Some of the functions require MathLink binaries which
are available in source code and are compiled for Macintosh
and Windows computers.
