A user may position a graphic object in a layout and the computer automatically knocks out frames to accommodate it. In implementation, a panel or panel set also may allow occluded or overlapping frames to be knocked out automatically in response to a user positioning an object in the layout in the graphical user interface. The computer determines from the size, position and orientation of the object which frames in a panel are overlapping or occluded, marks them as knocked out, and rearranges objects in the panel. As a result, the other images on the page appear to flow around the occluding or overlapping frame. Any textual labels or other information displayed for the occluded or overlapping frames also can be suppressed. A user can overlay as many occluding or overlapping objects as desired over a panel. Automatically knocking out occluded or overlapping frames streamlines the process of laying out complex panel designs, because the user can reposition and resize objects without needing to manually knock out the potentially many panel frames that overlap or occlude another object.
