Abstract: An integrated development environment (IDE) feature is described that provide relevant information regarding the various purposing masks in an intuitive manner. A user selects one or more target media types for the content being worked on in the IDE. When these target media are selected, masks corresponding to the selected target media are displayed over the content. The IDE monitors the position information identifying a display location of each mask. When the user performs some kind of information event associated with an identified display location of one of the masks, the IDE detects this event and displays an information box that contains media type information regarding the target media related to the specific mask at the identified display location.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method which allow for the automatic cropping and file generation of images from an existing image for display on multiple devices. An image, such as a video image, is provided to an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Next a mask or plurality of masks representative of different displays are applied to the image. The mask can be moved such that the content author can display an area of interest in the desired device. Once the mask is in place a crop is generated based on the mask. As frames are advanced the mask may be moved as the area of interest moves. Again a crop is made based on the mask. Once completed a file of the images is generated for each device represented by the mask that is displayable for the device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to computing devices and systems, software, computer programs, applications, and user interfaces, and more particularly, to implementing content input fields in forms to create electronic documents, among other things.

Abstract: When purposing content for one or more targeted formats, a user selects a first mask from a plurality of masks in an integrated development environment (IDE). Each of the plurality of masks represent various target formats that the user desires to purpose the content to. Each mask has a transparent region representing a visible area of the target formats and a translucent region surrounding the transparent region. The first mask is placed in a separate layer from the content in the IDE display. The user then selects one or more additional masks that are also placed in separate layers than the content and the first mask. The region where each of the transparent regions of the selected masks intersect identifies a common viewable region of the target formats that have been represented.
