A Grid-based Approach to Automating Display Layout
نویسنده
چکیده
A research testbed is described for exploring the automated layout of graphical displays. We address the problem of determining the size and position of the objects displayed to a user. Our approach is based on the graphic design concept of a design grid. A design grid is a set of proportionally-spaced vertical and horizontal lines that control the position and size of the objects being laid out. The system first generates a grid intended for a set of possible displays, based on information about the kind of material to be displayed, the user, and the display hardware. The grid is next used, in conjunction with further information about the kinds of objects to be presented, to create a prototype display layout. This prototype display layout determines how each actual set of objects will be sized and positioned in the displays presented to the user.

متن کاملErgonomics and simulation-based approach in improving facility layout
The use of the simulation-based technique in facility layout has been a choice in the industry due to its convenience and efficient generation of results. Nevertheless, the solutions generated are not capable of addressing delays due to worker’s health and safety which significantly impact overall operational efficiency. It is, therefore, critical to incorporate ergonomics in facility design. I...

Network diagrams are a familiar graphic form that can express many diierent kinds of information. The problem of automating network-diagram layout has therefore received much attention. Previous research on network-diagram layout has focused on the problem of aesthetically optimal layout, using such criteria as the number of link crossings, the sum of all link lengths, and total diagram area. I...
متن کاملMachine Reliability in a Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing System: A Comprehensive Approach to a Cell Layout Problem
The fundamental function of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) is based on definition and recognition of a type of similarity among parts that should be produced in a planning period. Cell formation (CF) and cell layout design are two important steps in implementation of the CMS. This paper represents a new nonlinear mathematical programming model for dynamic cell formation that employs the ...
