  • Patent number: 9548042
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing and utilizing responsive document breakpoints are provided. An electronic canvas in a first state is displayed, and an object is displayed on the electronic canvas in a first manner according to the first state. A request to resize the electronic canvas is received, where the request indicates a second state of the electronic canvas. A second manner of displaying the object according to the second state is identified. The electronic canvas in the second state is displayed, which includes displaying the object in the second manner according to the second state.

  • Patent number: 9147378
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for facilitating the selection of a color using a computer-based user interface. In one embodiment, the user interface includes a hue-saturation-brightness (HSB) color field and a luminosity slider. The HSB color field can be a two-dimensional field of a selected hue, with varying degrees of saturation displayed in one dimension, and varying degrees of brightness displayed in the other dimension. The luminosity slider can be a control element that adjusts the luminosity of a color having a selected hue and saturation. In such an embodiment, the HSB color field and the luminosity slider can be operatively coupled, such that modifying the luminosity of a selected color using the luminosity slider causes the resulting modified color to be indicated in the HSB color field. This provides the user with a better sense of how a selected color relates to other similar colors, thereby facilitating color selection.
