1. A region bounding and classifying system, comprising:
- memory for storing a set of image data that defines a graphical image; and
logic configured to identify a plurality of regions of different data types within the image and to bound each of the plurality of identified regions via a bounding region that forms a single object for manipulation by an application such that a single manipulation of the bounding region by the application affects each of the identified regions, the logic further configured to assign one of the data types to the bounding region based on a predefined hierarchy of the data types, wherein at least a portion of the graphical image is outside of the bounding region.

Abstract
A region bounding and classifying system utilizes memory and logic. The memory stores a set of image data that defines a graphical image. The logic is configured to identify a plurality of regions of different data types within the image and to bound each of the plurality of identified regions via a bounding region. The logic is configured to perform a prioritization of the data types included in the bounding region according to a predefined hierarchy of the data types. The logic is further configured to classify the bounding region based on the prioritization performed by the logic.
