Abstract: A set of rules and a current context for a user is obtained. The set of rules and the current context are used to determine a rule weight for each of a set of user interface elements. One or more of the user interface elements is caused to be displayed. Which user interface elements are displayed is based at least in part on the rule weights.

Abstract: A technique for editing is disclosed. In one embodiment, the technique includes generating a first merged shape based on a user selecting an intersection of paths in a drawing using a merge shape tool of a graphical user interface of a computer graphics program executing on a computer, wherein the intersection includes a first shape unit, and rendering the first merged shape.

Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing the playing of animation objects are presented. An animation object map may assign an animation object to each region of multiple regions of a viewing area. A synchronization shading map may assign a shade to each of the regions, where at least two of the shades assigned to regions differ in intensity. Playing each animation object may involve determining a start time for each of the regions. The start time for each particular region depends upon an intensity of a shade assigned to the particular region by the synchronization shading map, and ones of the regions having different shades differ in their respective start times based on a difference in intensities of shades assigned to those regions by the synchronization shading map. Playing of the animation object within a region begins at the start time determined for the region according to the synchronization map.

Abstract: Reviewing Objects. An example method includes generating a plurality of sections corresponding to an object. The plurality of sections includes a suggestion section and a support section. An input is received for at least one section of the plurality of sections. Further, one or more functions associated with the suggestion section are performed.
