  • Connecting graphical shapes using gestures
    Patent number: 10698599
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and apparatuses for connecting graphical shapes. A client digital data processor receives selection events. Each selection event tracks one or more input locations. The client digital data processor identifies a source and target graphical shape based at least on the received selection events. The client digital data processor determines a source and target connection point for a connector based at least on the source and target graphical shapes. The client digital data processor determines a length for the connector based at least on the source and target connection points. The client digital data processor generates and displays the connector based at least on the source and target connection points and the length. The present disclosure also describes methods for operating a client digital data processor as described above, and a computer-readable medium storing a program having instructions for so operating a client digital data processor.
