摘要： In one embodiment, receives a user gesture indicating an edit to be performed on a target object within a model. The model is based on an underlying schema including constraints that define relationships between objects in the model, including the target object. The computer system determines that at least one of the constraints in the underlying schema is associated with the indicated edit of the target object and determines that the edit is valid. The valid edit complies with the constraints associated with the indicated edit of the target object. In another embodiment, a computer system receives a user gesture indicating an edit, determines that a constraint in the underlying schema is associated with the indicated edit, and provides an indication of a valid model edit to a computer user.

摘要： The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for the facilitating the layout and composition of graphics. Embodiments of the present invention allow declarative input for creation and modification of layout compositions and also allows adjustments or modifications made to layout compositions. Layout compositions may be created, adjusted, and modified by input through a markup language or by user-commands and gestures. Relationships and associations among nodes and among line segments and connections between nodes which are embodied within a composition or created by an auto layout are preserved both during and after adjustments and modifications.

摘要： Embodiments are directed to generating declarative model editors. A computer system receives a first user input indicating a selection of a native underlying schema that includes constraints that are to be followed by models based on the native schema. The computer system receives a second user input indicating a declarative entry that includes user-configurable model editor characteristics. The computer system automatically generates a declarative model editor based on the selected native schema and user-configurable model editor characteristics. Other embodiments are directed to editing models using declarative model editors. A computer system receives user input indicating a declarative entry to be applied to a model, generates a declarative model editor based on the declarative entry, receives a model that is editable by the generated declarative model editor, and edits user-configurable characteristics of the model. The model characteristics conform to the constraints in the native underlying schema.

摘要： The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for flexible creation of auto-layout compliant diagrams. Visual feedback is provided to a user to assist the user with adding, deleting, and moving visual elements in diagrams in compliance with auto-layout constraints. Visual feedback is provided prior to adding, deleting, and moving a visual element so a user has an indication of what diagram's layout is to be after adding, deleting, or moving the visual element. Visual feedback can include shape guides that correspond to auto-layout compliant locations where a visual element can be added to a diagram. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention provide a user experience that approaches the flexibility of free form editing but retains the benefits of auto-layout mechanisms.

摘要翻译： 本发明扩展到方法，系统和计算机程序产品，用于灵活地创建自动布局兼容图。 向用户提供视觉反馈，以帮助用户按照自动布局约束在图中添加，删除和移动视觉元素。 在添加，删除和移动可视元素之前提供视觉反馈，以便用户在添加，删除或移动可视元素之后具有哪个图表的布局的指示。 视觉反馈可以包括对应于可以将视觉元素添加到图表的自动布局兼容位置的形状指南。 因此，本发明的实施例提供了接近自由格式编辑的灵活性的用户体验，但保留了自动布局机制的优点。
