  • Publication number: 20240012548
    Abstract: A computing system operates to associate a layout logic with a plurality of object that are rendered on a canvas of a user device, where the plurality of objects include a parent object and multiple child objects contained within the parent object. The multiple child objects can be arranged to have a first collective span in a first axial direction and a second collective span in a second axial direction. In response to a first input, the computer system automatically implements the layout logic by (i) changing a dimension of the parent object in each of the first axial direction and second axial direction, and (ii) rearranging the multiple child objects within the parent object to change the first collective span and the second collective span.

  • Patent number: 10832463
    Abstract: Techniques are described for efficient label insertion and collision handling. A bounding geometry for a label to be graphically displayed on a display screen as part of an electronic map is determined, wherein the bounding geometry comprises a circle. The bounding geometry is inserted into a grid index, wherein the grid index represents a viewport of the electronic map. Disjoint regions of the grid index intersected by the bounding geometry are identified, wherein each disjoint region represents a different portion of the viewport. For each intersected disjoint region, it is identified whether there is at least one collision between the bounding geometry and one or more existing bounding geometries in the disjoint region; and responsive to identifying whether there is at least one collision in the intersected disjoint region, a target opacity of the label is set.

  • Patent number: 10783687
    Abstract: Techniques are described for efficient duplicate label handling. A vector tile is added to a render tree of an electronic map, the vector tile comprising a first set of labels. A vector tile family of the vector tile is identified, each vector tile of the family comprising a second set of labels. For each label of the first set, for each vector tile in the vector tile family, second labels from the second set are identified, and for each identified label, coordinates of the label of the first set are compared to coordinates of the identified label to determine whether the coordinates are within a threshold similarity of each other. Responsive to the determination, the label of the first set of labels is associated with an identifier with which the identified label is associated.
