  • Patent number: 11320975
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that resize a graphical user interface design layout using automatically-generated semantic-aware resize constraints. In particular, systems described herein can analyze the semantics of graphical user interface design elements (e.g., including size, position, type, etc.) and relative positions of the design elements (e.g., hierarchy, offsets, nesting, etc.). The disclosed systems utilizes a heuristics system to the analyzed semantics to generate a set of automatically-defined semantic-aware resize constraints for each graphical user interface design interface. The disclosed systems additionally present a design resize interface that enables designer to manually select constraints to be applied to the design elements. The disclosed systems can toggle between applying manually-selected and automatic semantic-aware resize constraints for the design elements.

  • Patent number: 11061529
    Abstract: Techniques are described for utilizing drawing guides in an electronic canvas. The techniques may include detecting a first input at an edge of an artboard associated with the electronic canvas, triggering, responsive to the detected first input, a plurality of selectable indicators to enable configuration of a drawing guide for providing an interactive reference for placing content in the artboard, detecting a second input pertaining to at least one of the plurality of selectable indicators, determining a location in the artboard corresponding to the distance from the edge of the artboard, and triggering the at least one drawing guide for display in the artboard at the determined location.
