Abstract: Manually changing properties of each diagram element placed in a drawing becomes tedious. A significant amount of time is spent manually customizing diagram elements creating or editing a drawing. Functionality can be implemented within a drawing application to allow automatic diagram element customization based on a set of diagram element policies. Diagram policies specify conditions for customizing properties of a diagram element. Automatic customization of diagram elements reduces time spent creating drawings because diagram elements will be placed in a drawing in their desired configurations.

Abstract: Managing diagram elements in a drawing becomes more challenging as the number of diagram elements increases. Placing a new diagram element in a drawing often requires manual movement of one or more other diagram elements within the drawing. Functionality can be implemented within a drawing application to automatically manage diagram elements in a drawing by applying layouts to sets of diagram elements. A drawing tool can associate a set of diagram elements and assigns them a exclusive area or region in the drawing space. Since a layout occupies an exclusive area, the drawing tool can manage the drawing space by automatically moving elements within a first layout when overlap with a second layout is detected. Managing drawing spaces with layouts reduces time spent adjusting diagram elements as a result of applying operations to other elements.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for refreshing data-linked diagrams on a server computer and viewing and consuming the refreshed diagrams via a Web browser. A drawing program allows equations within a diagram definition to define how external data is utilized to modify the attributes of a diagram element. When the diagram is published to a server computer, the definition is converted to server-legible definition. A published diagram is generated that includes a diagram representation defined by the server-legible definition. Upon a request for the published diagram, the external data is refreshed and the diagram definition is updated. The equations are recalculated to generate new element attributes. The diagram representation is then updated with the new attributes and returned for display by a client Web browser. An interface provides exploration tools and a client API exposes methods for surfacing external data and annotating the diagram.

Abstract: The invention is methods and systems for encoding geographic coordinates and features in a portable document format file. Various embodiments of the invention permit encoding of a geographic relationship between the coordinate system of a digital source map, and the rendering of that map to a portable document format (PDF) document as well as the information required to transform between the source map coordinate system and the PDF coordinate system. This encoding can be performed by determining the coordinates of the points of a polygon of selected source map data to be rendered to PDF in both PDF coordinates and source coordinates, and by determining a transformation matrix to convert the coordinates from one system to the other, including information regarding the geometric projection of the source coordinate system. Having encoded this data, it can be possible to obtain any location within the rendered PDF file in coordinates of the source coordinate system.

Abstract: A system and a method control the re-execution of a rule branch in a rule represented by a graphic flowchart in a MES system. At developing time there is defined a recycle step which includes a conditional expression to be customized, at engineering time. The recycle step also has an internal counter. Each time it is executed in run time, the status of the recycle step is set by the execution engine as “active” status until the set of steps of the rule branch that follows is executed and then the recycle step status is set as “non-active.” At run time, the execution engine keeps waiting any request of executing a certain recycle step that is in “active” status. At run time, when the execution engine executes a certain recycle step, it sets the status of the set of steps of the rule branch that follows as “non already-executed” status.
