Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying a graphical object in a grid located within in a graphical user interface (GUI) environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method for displaying a graphical object in a grid located in a GUI environment comprises positioning the graphical object in a cell of the grid, where a dimension of the graphical object is larger than a corresponding dimension of the cell, and repositioning the graphical object depending upon a position of a pointer of the GUI environment within the cell along the corresponding dimension.

Abstract: A method for managing script added to an interactive document or fillable, electronic form. The method includes receiving user input for generating a script and then generating a script based on the user input. The method further includes as part of script generation providing a header in the script that includes a management flag or data in a header block indicating that the script is managed, a managed script object, and an edit verification value such as a cyclic redundancy check value. After the script is generated, the method includes parsing the document to determine whether the managed script has been edited or to otherwise verify the script's integrity. The method includes when the script has been edited modifying the management flag to indicate the script is released from script management. Unmanaged editing may be detected by comparing a stored edit verification value with the header value from each snippet.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for rendering a brush stroke with multiple nibs which are added to a center point indicated by a cursor, and the position and movement of each nib are controlled based on variables which can be set by a user. The variables include a number of nibs to be rendered in the brush stroke, initial position values determining an initial position of each nib relative to a center point, and movement variables representative of movement of each nib relative to the center point. A current position of the center point is determined relative to the document. A new position for each nib is calculated, relative to the current position of the center point, based on the initial position values and the movement variables. A dab is rendered at the new position of each nib. By repeating the steps of determining a current position, calculating a new position and rendering a dab while the center point is being moved, a brush stroke of unique painting effect is rendered.
