  • Patent number: 11714691
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a command stack for an application are disclosed and an embodiment includes receiving an input for executing a first command of the application, initiating execution of the first command, executing one or more second commands which are set to execute based on execution of the first command, completing execution of the first command, and including the first command in the command stack such that an association is defined between the first command and the one or more second commands. In one embodiment, defining the association in the command stack between the first command the one or more second commands may include generating a first nested command stack associated with the first command, including the one or more second commands in the first nested command stack, and including the first command and the first nested command stack in the command stack.

  • Patent number: 10460498
    Abstract: Systems and processes are described below relating to evaluating a dependency graph to render three-dimensional (3D) graphics using constraints. Two virtual 3D objects are accessed in a virtual 3D space. A constraint relationship request is received, which identifies the first object as a parent and the second object as a child. The technique verifies whether the graphs of the objects are compatible for being constrained to one another. The first object is evaluated to determine its translation, rotation, and scale. The second object is similarly evaluated based on the translation, rotation, and scale of the first object. An image is rendered depicting at least a portion of the first virtual 3D object and at least a portion of the second virtual 3D object.

  • Patent number: 10297064
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multi-representation dependency graphs are disclosed. A first representation of a dependency graph may be accessed using a processor. The first representation of the dependency graph may have a first type and include a plurality of nodes. A transition of the first representation of the dependency graph from a first state to a second state may be detected using the processor. In response to a detection of the transition of the first representation of the dependency graph from the first state to the second state, a second representation of the dependency graph may be updated. The second representation may have a second type different than the first type and include a plurality of tasks corresponding to the plurality of nodes. The second representation may further include one or more dependencies corresponding to one or more of the connections of the first representation.
