<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide automatic layout of items along an embedded one-dimensional manifold path. <P>SOLUTION: The coordinates for laying out visual items in two-, three-, or n-dimensional space along an embedded one-dimensional manifold or path are calculated and coordinates are generated for placement of the items in a container. Such a mechanism may be utilized by a graphics application and may determine the location or positioning of an object or item. In response to receiving a set of parameters describing aspects of the object or item to be placed within the container, a set of x and y or x, y and z coordinates may be generated and displayed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
