   * From Rylov & Reimer (2016) "A practical algorithm for the external annotation of area features":
   *
   * The list of rules adapted to the
   * needs of externally labelling areal features is as follows:
   * R1. Labels should be placed horizontally.
   * R2. Label should be placed entirely outside at some
   * distance from the area feature.
   * R3. Name should not cross the boundary of its area
   * feature.
   * R4. The name should be placed in way that takes into
   * account the shape of the feature by achieving a
   * balance between the feature and its name, emphasizing their relationship.
   * R5. The lettering to the right and slightly above the
   * symbol is prioritized.
   *
   * In the following subsections we utilize four of the five rules
   * for two subtasks of label placement, namely, for candidate
   * positions generation (R1, R2, and R3) and for measuring their
   * ‘goodness’ (R4). The rule R5 is applicable only in the case when
   * the area of a polygonal feature is small and the feature can be
   * treated and labelled as a point-feature
   */
 
  /*
   * QGIS approach (cite Dawson (2020) if you want ;) )
   *
   * We differ from the horizontal sweep line approach described by Rylov & Reimer and instead
   * rely on just generating a set of points at regular intervals along the boundary of the polygon (exterior ring).
   *
   * In practice, this generates similar results as Rylov & Reimer, but has the additional benefits that:
   * 1. It avoids the need to calculate intersections between the sweep line and the polygon
   * 2. For horizontal or near horizontal segments, Rylov & Reimer propose generating evenly spaced points along
   * these segments-- i.e. the same approach as we do for the whole polygon
   * 3. It's easier to determine in advance exactly how many candidate positions we'll be generating, and accordingly
   * we can easily pick the distance between points along the exterior ring so that the number of positions generated
   * matches our target number (targetPolygonCandidates)
