First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing the preparation of a set of graphical elements for presentation, the method comprising:
- identifying a first subset of the elements where measurement is desirable;
identifying a second subset of the elements where arrangement is desirable;
executing a first series of operations for measuring the elements comprising the first subset; and
executing a second series of operations for arranging the elements comprising the second subset.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for managing the preparation of graphical elements in computer application programs for presentation. The methods independently identify and measure, and identify and arrange, sets of elements. A computer-readable medium is also provided for facilitating the management of the preparation for presentation of graphical elements in computer application programs.

14. A system for managing the preparation of a set of graphical elements for presentation, the system comprising:
-
a first data structure representing a first subset of the set of graphical elements requiring measurement;
a second data structure representing a second subset of the set of graphical elements requiring arrangement;
a first procedure using the first data structure for managing the measuring of elements; and
a second procedure using the second data structure for managing the arranging of elements. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
