Abstract

Design analysis for framework assessment is described. A file including a designed image may be obtained from a storage device, and a guide structure may be extracted from the file. The guide structure may include multiple guide lines, and the guide lines may be analyzed to determine column-related data, such as at least relative widths or positional orders, a total number of columns, groups of column widths, a combination thereof, and so forth. From multiple frameworks, a framework may be ascertained that substantially matches the guide structure based at least partially on a comparison of column-related data to each framework of the multiple frameworks. Ascertainment of a framework may be indicated to an end-user. The ascertained framework may be applied to facilitate development of a coded functional version of at least a visual design of the image.

Claims

1. A device comprising:

one or more hardware processors; and

a computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon multiple instructions that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a framework assessment module configured to perform operations comprising;

obtaining at least one file including an image from a storage device, the image including a layout of one or more visual components;

extracting a guide structure from the at least one file, the guide structure including a distance between guide lines relating to the layout of the one or more visual components;

ascertaining a framework from multiple frameworks as having a match status with the guide structure based on a comparison of the guide structure to each framework of the multiple frameworks using the distance between the guide lines, the framework comprising code to produce a coded functional version;

facilitating development of the at least one file into the coded functional version using the ascertained framework, the facilitating including automatically applying the ascertained framework as part of developing the coded functional version of the layout of the one or more visual components.

2. The device as described in claim 1, wherein the facilitating comprises presenting a workspace for building the coded functional version, the workspace including a display of a visual representation of the ascertained framework.

3. The device as described in claim 1, wherein the ascertaining comprises determining multiple distances between multiple pairs of adjacent guide lines of the guide lines of the guide structure extracted from the at least one file.

4. The device as described in claim 3, wherein the ascertaining further comprises organizing the multiple distances into at least two groups based on sizes of the multiple distances.

5. The device as described in claim 4, wherein the ascertaining further comprises performing a remediation process by assigning an outlying distance value corresponding to a distance between a pair of adjacent guide lines to a group of the at least two groups.

6. A computer-implemented method comprising:

loading at least one file including an image from a storage device;

extracting a guide structure from the at least one loaded file, the guide structure associated with the image and indicating a distance between guide lines;

ascertaining a framework, from multiple frameworks, that has a match status with the guide structure based on a comparison of the guide structure to each framework of the multiple frameworks;

indicating that the ascertained framework has the match status with the guide structure;

receiving an indication to accept or decline the ascertained framework; and

facilitating development of the at least one file into a coded functional file using code contained by the ascertained framework, the facilitating including automatically applying the ascertained framework as part of developing the coded functional file.

7. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 6, wherein:

the guide structure comprises multiple vertical guide lines; and

the extracting includes extracting the multiple vertical guide lines from the at least one loaded file.

8. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 7, wherein the extracting further comprises:

extracting relative horizontal distances between or among the multiple vertical guide lines.

9. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 6, wherein the ascertaining comprises:

comparing a first columnar layout associated with the guide structure to a second columnar layout associated with each framework of the multiple frameworks.

10. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 9, wherein the first columnar layout comprises a first total number of columns, and the second columnar layout comprises a second total number of columns;

and wherein the comparing comprises;

comparing the first total number of columns associated with the guide structure to the second total number of columns associated with each framework of the multiple frameworks.

11. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 9, wherein the first columnar layout comprises a first relative positioning of columns, and the second columnar layout comprises a second relative positioning of columns;

and wherein the comparing comprises;

comparing the first relative positioning of columns associated with the guide structure to the second relative positioning of columns associated with each framework of the multiple frameworks.

12. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 6, wherein the indicating comprises:

presenting a name representative of the ascertained framework.

13. The computer-implemented method as described in claim 6, wherein the facilitating is performed responsive to receiving an indication to accept the ascertained framework.

14. A device comprising:

one or more hardware processors; and

a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon multiple instructions that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;

obtaining an indicator of an image;

obtaining a guide structure associated with the image, the guide structure indicating a distance between guide lines;

mapping the guide structure to respective frameworks of multiple frameworks using respective columnar layouts of multiple columnar layouts;

responsive to the mapping resulting in a match status, preparing a development workspace using a framework that maps to the guide structure; and

facilitating development of a coded functional file using code of the framework, the facilitating including automatically applying the framework as part of developing the coded functional file.

15. The device as described in claim 14, wherein the mapping comprises comparing a number of columns of the guide structure to respective numbers of columns of the respective columnar layouts of the multiple columnar layouts.

16. The device as described in claim 14, wherein the mapping includes mapping at least relative widths of columns of the guide structure to respective relative widths of columns of the respective columnar layouts of the multiple columnar layouts.

17. The device as described in claim 16, wherein the mapping at least relative widths of columns comprises comparing (i) widths of columns in pixels and widths of gutters in pixels of the guide structure to (ii) respective widths of columns in pixels and respective widths of gutters in pixels of the respective columnar layouts of the multiple columnar layouts.

18. The device as described in claim 14, wherein the mapping comprises comparing a columnar layout of the guide structure to respective grid blueprints of the respective columnar layouts of the multiple columnar layouts.

19. The device as described in claim 14, wherein the mapping comprises remedying an outlier value for a width between two adjacent guide lines of the guide structure associated with the image by adjusting the outlier value and re-attempting to map the guide structure to respective frameworks of the multiple frameworks.

20. The device as described in claim 14, wherein the indicator of the image is a file name or a pointer to an image.
