Abstract
An image data processing method involves on-line viewing of a first article through a linking node for virtual merging on another structure. A particular application of the invention is directed to on-line apparel shopping involving a shopping basket. For example, on-line viewing of one article, such as clothing, on another structure, includes creating an item from image-data corresponding to an article selected by an on-line viewer and tagged as a prospective selection via a shopping basket designation with an image of a structure selected by the on-line viewer.
