Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for optimally viewing a three dimensional object in a three dimensional graphical space. Each object in the three dimensional space has associated an optimal vantage point. In one embodiment, the optimal vantage point allows a position and orientation for the object or for the vantage point to be calculated, where when the object or vantage point is moved to the position and orientation where the object may be optimally viewed.

Abstract: An electronic image of a document that includes a printed text portion and a handwritten portion is formed, and a part of the printed text portion in the image is identified as being associated with the handwritten portion. A correlation between a digital version of the handwritten portion and digital text representing the previously-identified part of the printed text portion is stored.

Abstract: Conveying a relationship between two objects in a scene is accomplished by selecting source and destination ends of an imaginary line between the objects in the scene, a source object being located at the source end, a destination object being located at the destination end. An image representing the destination object may be displayed near the source end of the imaginary line. The image may be animated to the location of the destination object along the imaginary line. A relationship indicator, such as a line, may also be displayed between the source object and the image as the image is animated to the destination end.
