Abstract

Automatic global beautification methods have been proposed for sketch-based interfaces, but they can lead to undesired results due to ambiguity in the user's input. To facilitate ambiguity resolution in layout beautification, we present a novel user interface for visualizing and editing inferred relationships. First, our interface provides a preview of the beautified layout with inferred constraints, without directly modifying the input layout. In this way, the user can easily keep refining beautification results by interactively repositioning and/or resizing elements in the input layout. Second, we present a gestural interface for editing automatically inferred constraints by directly interacting with the visualized constraints via simple gestures. Our efficient implementation of the beautification system provides the user instant feedback. Our user studies validate that our tool is capable of creating, editing and refining layouts of graphic elements and is significantly faster than the standard snap-dragging and command-based alignment tools.
具有交互式歧义解决的全局美化布局
对于基于草图的界面,已经提出了自动全局美化方法,但是由于用户输入的模糊性,它们可能导致不期望的结果。为了促进布局美化中的歧义解决,我们提出了一种新的用户界面,用于可视化和编辑推断关系。首先,我们的界面提供了带有推断约束的美化布局的预览,而无需直接修改输入布局。通过这种方式,用户可以通过交互式地重新定位和/或调整输入布局中的元素大小,轻松地不断优化美化结果。其次,我们提出了一个手势界面,通过简单的手势直接与可视化的约束交互来编辑自动推断的约束。我们高效实施的美化系统为用户提供即时反馈。我们的用户研究验证了我们的工具能够创建、编辑和优化图形元素的布局,并且比标准的快照拖动和基于命令的对齐工具要快得多。
