Systems and methods for facilitating the display and use of displayed objects in content creation environments
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing a development environment on a computing device, the development environment displaying objects to be included in content being developed, wherein the development environment determines whether to prop open size properties of the objects by;
determining whether an object property of an object is defined;
if the object property is not defined, determining whether the object contains one or more child objects;
if the object contains one or more child objects, determining whether the one or more child objects require the object property to be propped-open; and
if any child object requires the object property to be propped-open, setting the object property to a propped-open value.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating the display and use of objects in content creation environments, for example, by ensuring minimum object size properties for objects that would otherwise appear small or invisible. Various methods evaluate how to display objects in a collection or arrangement of objects while addressing potential conflicts and paradoxes that might otherwise exist based on the how size properties of the objects are defined in relation to one another. Certain embodiments facilitate improved display of nested containers including those whose size properties are defined as size to content. Certain embodiments also facilitate the improved display of containers whose children'"'"'s size properties depend upon container size properties.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
providing a development environment on a computing device, the development environment displaying objects to be included in content being developed, wherein the development environment determines whether to prop open size properties of the objects by; determining whether an object property of an object is defined; if the object property is not defined, determining whether the object contains one or more child objects; if the object contains one or more child objects, determining whether the one or more child objects require the object property to be propped-open; and if any child object requires the object property to be propped-open, setting the object property to a propped-open value. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a computing device configured to execute via a processor instructions stored on a computer readable medium to provide a development environment displaying objects to be included in content being developed, wherein the development environment determines whether size properties of the objects need to be propped-open by; determining whether an object property of an object is defined; if the object property is not defined, determining whether the object contains one or more child objects; if the object contains one or more child objects, determining whether the one or more child objects require the object property to be propped-open; and if any child object requires the object property to be propped-open, setting the object property to a propped-open value. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which is encoded program code, the program code comprising:
-
program code for providing a development environment on a computing device, the development environment displaying objects to be included in content being developed, wherein the development environment determines whether size properties of the objects need to be propped-open by; program code for determining whether an object property of an object is defined; program code for, if the object property is not defined, determining whether the object contains one or more child objects; program code for, if the object contains one or more child objects, determining whether the one or more child objects require the object property to be propped-open; and program code for, if any child object requires the object property to be propped-open, setting the object property to a propped-open value. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
