    Patent number: 10664133
    Abstract: A method for autolinking hierarchies is provided. The method includes receiving an initial hierarchy and a final hierarchy. The method includes determining a set of links from the initial and final hierarchies. The method includes, for each link from the set of links, identifying an unlinked child node from the initial hierarchy of a particular link. The method includes determining a match between the unlinked child node to a second unlinked child node from the final hierarchy of the particular link. The method includes generating a link between the unlinked child node to the second unlinked child node. The method includes providing a new set of links based on the generated link and the set of links. The method includes generating a transition hierarchy based on the new set of links, and the initial and final hierarchies. The method includes generating an animation based on the transition hierarchy.
