Abstract: A user accesses a recommendation website and selects an item from the website. A recommendation application searches for associated items, selects a set of items, and transmits the set to the layout application. A layout application identifies the images by category, creates a virtual presentation space, and positions the images within component sections of the virtual presentation space. The layout application modifies the position of, proportionally resizes, and rotates the component sections based on categorical constraints. To rotate each component section, neighboring component sections are detected, the component sections are grouped, the leading edges are detected between images, the neighboring component sections are positioned so that leading edges of the images are parallel, overlapping empty space is occluded, and the component section pair is jointly rotated. The virtual presentation space is scored and subsequent virtual presentation spaces are created. The best-scored virtual presentation space is displayed on the website.
