1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- laying out one or more floating objects in a layout space;
computing one or more flow contours associated with the one or more floating objects; and
enabling use of the one or more flow contours in layout processing of content in the layout space.

Abstract
Various embodiments introduce the notion of a flow contour that is utilized to conduct layout processing. Flow contours are utilized to organize layout space in the presence of floating objects or geometries. In at least some embodiments, objects can float to the left and/or right in the layout space. Flow contours are abstractions that then represent collections of left-floating and/or right-floating objects.

15. One or more computer readable storage media embodying computer readable instructions, which, when executed, implement a method comprising:
-
using flow contours to perform content measuring operations with respect to content that is to be inserted between left-floating and right-floating objects that reside in a layout space, wherein the flow contours define, respectively, a right-most outer contour of the left-floating objects and a left-most outer contour of the right-floating objects; and using the flow contours to perform content insertion operations with respect to content that is to be inserted between the left-floating and the right-floating objects. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
