  • Positioning for multiple icons in an object-oriented interface
    Patent number: 5808611
    Abstract: A method, system and program for creating child graphical objects in an object oriented graphical user interface. First, the child object is created by copying a set of attributes from a parent graphical object to a memory partition allocated to the first child graphical object. This operation is typically called inheritance or subclassing in object oriented programming. Next, the location data of the first child graphical object is automatically changed from those copied from the parent graphical object. Next, the parent and child graphical objects are displayed on a display in the graphical user interface, the child graphical object being offset in location from the parent graphical object.
