Abstract: A user interface for setting parameters for an edge location video tool is provided. In one implementation, the user interface includes a multi-dimensional parameter space representation with edge zones that allows a user to adjust a single parameter combination indicator in a zone in order to adjust multiple edge detection parameters for detecting a corresponding edge. The edge zones indicate the edge features that are detectable when the parameter combination indicator is placed within the edge zones. In another implementation, representations of multiple edge features that are detectable by different possible combinations of the edge detection parameters are automatically provided in one or more windows. When a user selects one of the edge feature representation, the corresponding combination of edge detection parameters is set as the parameters for the edge location video tool.

Abstract: The 3D modeling user interface (UI) method provides a 2D scalable grid on a computer screen that allows a user to extrude a 3D shape therefrom. The 3D shape is then presented on the display screen, which also shows the grid that the shape was extruded from. In addition to 2D grids, the UI allows the user to define 2D concentric circular patterns on a surface of the 3D shape, from which the user can extrude a 3D projection of the concentric circular patterns. A previously defined grid can be extended or bent into an arcuate or curvy grid according to manipulations by the user. Moreover a grid can be folded back on itself by the user. Additionally the UI provides groups of user-defined wavy splines that can be extruded from a displayed surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for changing a user interface for a multi-screen device. The user interface can change based on the movement of a window. The system can receive a user interface event that modifies the display of windows in the user interface. Upon receiving the user interface event, the system determines if a window has been covered or uncovered. If a window has been covered, the window is placed in a sleep state. If a window is uncovered, the window is activated from a sleep state. A sleep state is a window state where an application associated with the window does not receive user interface inputs and/or does not render the window. Moreover, in a sleep state an image representing the window is maintained in memory.
