  • Patent number: 10331289
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for optimizing a developer's ability to find and navigate relevant documents, relationships, and other information related to an identifier in the code they are developing. An inline viewport is presented to the user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code they are investigating. Further, the developer has the ability to make changes to the code in the viewport without leaving the current editor.

  • Patent number: 9965142
    Abstract: A direct manipulation user interface provides a user with a means to interact with control points associated with smart objects to create and modify complex 3D graphic objects. The direct manipulation user interface includes a precision control mechanism that enables a user to specify precise measurements for a transformation through the user's interaction with a control point. The direct manipulation user interface also includes a history bar that enables a user to scroll back to a previous stage in the design process and to undo a sequence of transformations through the user's interaction with the history bar.

  • Patent number: 9811235
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for optimizing a developer's ability to find and navigate relevant documents, relationships, and other information related to an identifier in the code they are developing. An inline viewport is presented to the user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code they are investigating. The developer further has the ability to cascade the viewports such that multiple levels of depth of relationships can be viewed in the viewport.

  • Patent number: 9311755
    Abstract: A smart object represents a 3D graphics object whose control points are disclosed to a user. The control points are displayed for a user to use in performing simple and complex transformations on the 3D graphics object. The control points are positioned in areas where transformations are more likely to be made by a user. A transformation may be an action along one or more axes of the object, such as, rotation, scaling, and translation. The user may utilize the control points to perform a series of transformations that create a particular 3D graphics object without requiring expertise in the 3D graphics modeling application.

  • Patent number: 9134968
    Abstract: An inline view port is presented to a user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code that is being investigated. The user further has the ability to dive further into portions of the viewport document without having to leave the current editor, drive into additionally relevant portions of code through the viewport, and cascade the viewports such that multiple levels of depth of relationships can be viewed in the viewport.
