1. A computer-implemented method for associating a graphics object with a first target region of a graphical object template divided into one or more target regions, the method comprising:

  • calculating a center of mass of the graphics object;

    calculating a center of mass of at least one target region in the one or more target regions;

    for at least one target region, calculating a distance between the graphics object and the target region;

    for at least one target region, calculating an overlap amount between the graphics object and the target region; and

    for at least one target region, calculating a proximity score for the target region by dividing the sum of the overlap amount and a positive integer by the sum of the distance and the positive integer,wherein the graphics object is associated with the first target region based on the proximity scores for the target regions.
