PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide automatic layout of items along embedded one-manifold path. SOLUTION: The coordinates for laying out visual items in two-, three-, or n-dimensional space along an embedded one-manifold or path are calculated and coordinates are generated for placement of the items in a container. Such a mechanism may be employed by a graphics application and may determine the location or positioning of an object or item. In response to receiving a set of parameters defining the object or item placed within the container, a set of (x) and (y) or (x), (y) and (z) coordinates may be generated for display.
