Adobe Systems Incorporated - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345624, 345619, 345629

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus implementing systems and techniques for revealing a clipped portion of an image. In general, in one implementation, the techniques include presenting a visual representation of an image object having a clipped portion hidden from view in the visual representation, and during an edit operation, revealing the clipped portion of the image object as a transparent image overlay in the visual representation. In another aspect, the techniques include drawing a first visual representation of an image object in an edit mode that reveals a clipped portion of the image object in the first visual representation, the first visual representation allowing at least a portion of an object lower in a drawing order and underneath the revealed clipped portion to show through the revealed clipped portion, and in response to termination of the edit mode, drawing a second visual representation of the image object in which the clipped portion of the image object is hidden, such that the at least a portion of the lower of object is visible and unobscured by the clipped portion.

Assignee:

Adobe Systems Incorporated - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715252, 715243

Abstract:

One embodiment involves placing a guide on a layout for a page of electronic content including a first object and a second object. The guide contacts the first object and does not contact the second object. The electronic content can be encoded based on the guide contacting the first object and not contacting the second object. The encoded electronic content, when interpreted or executed, can respond to a page size change by resizing a size of the first object on the page and translating a position of the second object on the page. Another exemplary embodiment involves modifying a page including a first object and a second object. The first object can be resized or translated based on an object policy. The second object can be resized or translated based on the modified page size and differently from the resizing or translating of the first object.

US Classification:

715205, 715253, 715863

Abstract:

Various embodiments include one or more of systems, methods, and software for placing multiple files as a contact sheet, such as image files within an electronic document. A selection of electronic files is received along with a an area input. The area input defines an area to place a graphical representation of at least one of the selected electronic files within an electronic file being authored. Graphical representations of the selected electronic files may then be placed in the defined area.

G06F 3/0485

Abstract:

Techniques for responsive design controls are described. A user interface is provided having a breakpoint bar configured to display multiple selectable breakpoints. When the breakpoints are selected, digital content displayed on a design surface located adjacent to the breakpoint bar is resized according to a relative size of the breakpoint. The user interface additionally has a central axis along which the multiple breakpoints are distributed. The design surface enables the digital content to be viewed and resized around the central axis responsive to selection of one of the breakpoints. Additional tools and techniques are provided to implement responsive design controls.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for creating a webpage having different element orders for different webpage widths are disclosed. A computing device receives inputs specifying different layouts of elements in different orders for different webpage widths. The computing device creates markup code for the webpage that specifies separate subtrees of nodes for the different layouts and then modifies the markup code to replace duplicate nodes with placeholders in the subtrees. The computing device also creates script code for the webpage with instructions for modifying a live DOM created from the markup code based on current webpage width. Specifically, the script code modifies the live DOM to specify positioning the elements differently for different webpage widths by changing the visibility of nodes and swapping placehoders and content nodes in the subtrees.
