Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for generating snapping guide lines from objects in a selected region to an object or drawing tool by a digital design system. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods comprise receiving a first selection of an object from a plurality of objects within a drawing displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). The disclosed systems and methods further comprise receiving a second selection of a region of interest. The disclosed systems and methods further comprise identifying one or more objects in the region of interest. The disclosed systems and methods further comprise, in response to an input indicating a moving operation of the selected object, generating guide lines from objects in the region of interest to the selected object. The disclosed systems and methods further comprise performing the moving operation of the selected object based on alignment with the generated guide lines.

Abstract: Glyph sizing control techniques are described for digital content that provide insight regrading a true size of glyphs when rendered using a respective font and also leverages this insight to control font sizing and alignment. In one example, a glyph sizing system outputs a plurality of options to specify a unit-of-measure to control an actual size of a glyph as rendered in a user interface. Examples of units of measure include a capital height, x-height, ICF-height, dynamic height, object height, width, and other spans along a dimension, e.g., based on ascent, descent, or other. These units of measure are leveraged by the glyph sizing system to surface information regarding an actual size of respective glyphs for that unit-of-measure and control glyph sizing and arrangement.

Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating snap guides relative to glyphs of editable text rendered in a user interface using a font, a computing device implements a snap guide system to receive input data describing a position of a cursor relative to the glyphs of the editable text in the user interface. The glyphs of the editable text are enclosed within a bounding box having a height that is less than a height of an em-box of the font. The snap guide system generates a first group of snap guides for the glyphs of the editable text which includes a snap guide for each side of the bounding box and a snap guide for an x-height of the font. The snap guide system generates an indication of a particular snap guide of the first group of snap guides for display in the user interface based on the position of the cursor.

Abstract: A method for managing, by an electronic device, content in an augmented reality (AR) system is provided. The method includes identifying a digital artefact that is used by a first application of an electronic device, executing and displaying an image capturing application to capture images, displaying the digital artefact on a captured image which includes an object of a real world where the digital artefact is displayed on or around the object, and, while the digital artefact is displayed, receiving an user input on at least one of the digital artefact or the object for performing an action associated with the digital artefact.

Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose a method for recommending an image capture mode by an electronic device. The method includes identifying, by the electronic device, at least one ROI displayed in a camera preview of the electronic device for capturing an image in a non-ultra-wide image capture mode. Further, the method includes determining, by the electronic device, that the at least one ROI is suitable to capture in an ultra-wide image capture mode. Further, the method includes providing, by the electronic device, at least one recommendation to switch to the ultra-wide image capture mode from the non-ultra-wide image capture mode for capturing the image.

Abstract: A method and a device for providing contextual information. The method includes detecting an invocation of a camera application via a user-input while executing a non-camera application by a device. The method further includes identifying content from one or more of a preview of the camera application and multi-media captured by the camera application. Further, the method includes identifying contextual information based on one or more of the identified content and information available from the non-camera application. Further, the method includes allowing the identified contextual information to be shared between the camera application and the non-camera application.
