1. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

  • display a main view that shows one or more source objects, one or more target objects, and mappings between the one or more source objects and the one or more target objects, wherein a mapping line represents each mapping;

    receive input that modifies the main view; and

    in response to receiving the input,determine the slope of each mapping line to be drawn between a source object and a target object, wherein the slope is determined in accordance with;

    |Y1−

    Y2||X1−

    X2|, wherein where X1 and Y1 coordinates represent a location of the source object and X2 and Y2 coordinates represent a location of the target object;

    sort the mapping lines with a mapping strategy using the slope of the mapping lines to sort; and

    draw the mapping lines based on the mapping strategy by drawing each mapping line according to the slope of that mapping line, wherein each mapping line that has a smaller slope than each of the other mapping lines is drawn before the other mapping lines.
