  • Patent number: 10586364
    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for decorating and embellishing interstitial space in a digital object layout using one or more design elements. Embodiments herein place one or more embellishments on any layout of 1-dimensional objects in a sequential manner by automatically detecting one or more “potential” regions/locations of placement (computed rectangular whitespace on edge, computed rectangular whitespace inside, geometric corners/vertices). One or more embellishments are placed in the one or more determined regions/locations using aesthetic measurements (measurement of nearest and furthest neighbor, chamfer radius around corners, number of objects overlaid on one side against the number of objects overlaid on the other side) and a rule based system. Embodiments herein disclose one or more specific design rules that enable a layout with embellishments to look aesthetically pleasing.
