Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) engine receives an input event associated with a drag-and-drop action, determines a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) element that relates to the input event, and causes an anchor element to be attached to the SVG element, such as be wrapping the SVG element with the anchor element. Attaching an anchor element to an SVG element and defining the anchor element as “draggable” enables web browsers to perform drag-and-drop actions with SVG elements in a uniform and predictable manner. In one example use case, an SVG element may be wrapped with an anchor element when the SVG element is selected and dragged by a user, enabling an accurate representation of the SVG element to be displayed while the user is performing the drag-and-drop action.

Abstract: An exemplary mobile application management system detects a first user input provided by a user while a first user interface associated with a first feature of a mobile application is displayed within an application display area of a display screen of a mobile computing device executing the mobile application. The first user input represents a request to transform the first user interface into a minimized widget associated with the first feature of the mobile application. The mobile application management system directs, in response to the first user input, the mobile computing device to concurrently display, in place of the first user interface, the minimized widget within a first region of the application display area and a second user interface associated with one or more additional features of the mobile application within a second region of the application display area.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs. The device displays a first user interface of a hierarchy of user interfaces of a software application associated with first and second pan gesture recognizers. The first pan gesture recognizer is configured to recognize a pan gesture that has an initial direction along a first axis and/or a first direction. The second pan gesture recognizer is configured to recognize a pan gesture that has an initial direction along a second axis and/or a second direction distinct from the first direction. The device detects a first pan gesture in an initial direction across the touch-sensitive surface while displaying the first user interface. The device identifies a pan gesture recognizer configured to recognize the first pan gesture, and processes the first pan gesture using the identified pan gesture recognizer.
