  • Publication number: 20240071118
    Abstract: Systems and methods for shape prediction for digital inking applications include training a shape prediction model to predict complete shapes based digital ink data defining unfinished shapes. During use, digital ink data representing an unfinished shape is input to a digital inking application and displayed in a canvas area of the application. The digital ink data is also provided to the shape prediction model as input. The shape prediction model generates a shape prediction based on the digital ink data. The shape prediction is displayed in the canvas area. When a second input is received indicating acceptance of the shape prediction, the digital ink forming the unfinished shape is replaced with digital ink forming a predicted complete shape.

  • Publication number: 20230325587
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to enhancements to spreadsheet tables. More specifically, embodiments of the present technology include systems and methods for incorporating various table column operations into table columns headers, thereby simplifying the act of propagating a desired effect across a range that exactly matches the table column. In an embodiment, a spreadsheet application detects a cell event in a spreadsheet, wherein the cell event affects one or more cells of the spreadsheet, determines that a cell of the one or more cells is inside a range that makes up a table in the spreadsheet, identifies a table column of the table to which the cell belongs, identifies metadata for the table column, wherein the metadata for the table column comprises column configuration instructions, and applies the column configuration instructions to the cell.

  • Patent number: 10902194
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for handing approximate (or uncertain) values in spreadsheet applications. More specifically, the technology describes spreadsheet applications that support arrays or sets of approximate (or uncertain) values as native entities. An approximate (or uncertain) value may be the value of a cell of the spreadsheet that is resolvable by formula, charts and other functionalities. In some implementations, approximate values may include a range of data and a probability distribution that can be automatically created by the spreadsheet application, generated based on context, input by the user, etc. Because the approximate (or uncertain) value is natively available, it can be incorporated in a spreadsheet like other values. Additionally, the approximate (or uncertain) values can automatically propagate through a spreadsheet calculation to obtain a final approximate result.
