Formatting characteristics for other pages of the digital content may be altered, however the fixed format page maintains the same format as when the annotations were added. The user may hide and/or edit virtual ink annotations, and when the annotations are hidden the content of the fixed format page may flow normally and match the formatting characteristics of the rest of the digital content.

Abstract: Synchronization problems between audio and video information may be reduced by determining whether a certain predetermined time has elapsed since the previous frame of video has been displayed. Thus, for example, where the audio presentation time stamp and video presentation time stamp are offset so that audio information may be presented before video information, the next video frame in the queue may be displayed immediately after the passage of a predetermined time. Then, audio/video synchronization may be achieved after passage of an amount of time determined by the setting of the predetermined elapsed time between frames. The longer the predetermined time between frames, the more slowly the video frames are displayed, but the faster audio and video synchronization is achieved.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to a non-limiting system and method for generating an abstract code execution timeline from repetitive programs, such as video games and simulations. As a non-limiting example, a statistical sampling profile is first taken of the running program, and then the data is converted into several representations. By selecting representative functions based on sampling frequency and call tree hierarchy and then sorting those functions chronologically and hierarchically, an abstract code execution timeline can be generated that summarizes execution within a single repetitive time period, such as a video frame. This timeline is called “Story Mode” since it tells a story of how the program executes over the course of a frame. This abstract code execution timeline can then be used to facilitate program comprehension, primarily for the purposes of modifying the code to improve execution speed.
