Abstract: A method and system for migrating Extensible Markup Language (XML) schemas between releases of a computing application. The method provides first and second versions of an XML document by the computing application, each version having a different schema. The first version is migrated to the second version using a migration step. The method uses a Dependency injection Framework to abstract the characteristics of the at least one migration step. The method also transforms the first schema to the second schema, based on the abstracted characteristics of the at least one migration step, in such a way that the first version of the XML document is migrated into the second version of the XML document. The method migrates the first version into the second version in such a way that the second version can access application data from the first version.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for implementing change value indication and historical value comparison at a user interface including means for storing records in a database, wherein updates to the records are recorded into a historical trending data object to maintain historical values for the records when the records are updated in the database; receiving input from a user device specifying data to be displayed at the user device; receiving historical filter input from the user device; querying the records stored in the database for the data to be displayed; querying the historical trending data object for the historical values of the data to be displayed; comparing the data to be displayed with the historical values of the data to be displayed to determine one or more changed values corresponding to the data to be displayed; and displaying a change value indication GUI to the user device displaying at least the data to be displayed and a changed value indication based on the one or more changed v

Abstract: Techniques and systems for generating ink effects for an ink stroke are described. In particular, ink gradients for digital ink strokes are provided. The described techniques allow for inking input to be transformed into a structure in which conventional and unconventional graphics techniques can be applied. A digital ink system can receive an ink stroke having ink stroke information. The outline of the ink stroke can be identified, and the ink stroke information can be transformed into surface information within the outline of the ink stroke. A graphic effect can be applied to the ink stroke using the surface information.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for applying an ink effect to the drawing of an ink stroke can include absolute age for a digital ink stroke. A digital ink system can identify a reference time from which to represent a current time. The system can generate an absolute age of each ink point of the ink stroke based on the reference time. Then the ink effect can be applied to the ink stroke with a rhythm derived from when the ink stroke was originally drawn by using the absolute age of each ink point. In some cases, the rhythm can be the same rhythm as when the ink stroke was originally drawn. In other cases, the rhythm can be modified based on the rhythm the ink stroke was originally drawn. For example, the original rhythm may be accelerating, decelerating, skewed, compressed, affine, or non-affine.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for user interface date selectors for historical reports. A user interface outputs a date selector including a calculated dates option, wherein the calculated dates option is based on a date frequency applied to a date range. The user interface receives a selection via the date selector. Dates associated with the selection are identified. The user interface outputs the dates as a preview of a historical report, wherein the dates are output in a chronological order.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for managing visual layouts of ink strokes are described. In particular, an ink space coordinate system for a digital ink stroke is provided. A digital ink system can receive ink stroke data of an ink stroke. The system can define an ink space coordinate system along the ink stroke. Defining the ink space coordinate system can include assigning a reference line of the ink stroke and an origin point on the reference line, as well as creating ink space coordinates. Creating the ink space coordinates can include defining ink space x-coordinate values representing a distance along the reference line relative to the origin point and defining ink space y-coordinate values representing a distance along an axis perpendicular to the reference line of the ink stroke. Then the system can perform a warping to create curvature in the ink space coordinate system.
