Appl. No.:

10/755511

Inventors:

Janet L. Schorr - Seattle WA, US
Timothy J. Cullen - Seattle WA, US
Mark Fredrick Iverson - Seattle WA, US
Michael D. Mueller - Poulsbo WA, US
William Holt - Bothell WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715825, 715775, 345440

Abstract:

Generating a dynamic legend for a drawing developed by a diagramming software program. A drawing sheet module and legend module, logically-coupled to the drawing sheet module, are useful for generating and updating a dynamic legend. The legend module can support the addition of a legend to a drawing sheet. The legend module can also determine if legend symbols should be automatically added to the legend. If legend symbols are added to a drawing sheet, that addition can be automatically reflected in the dynamic legend. Symbols can be converted such that they may be reflected in a dynamic legend.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06T 11/20

US Classification:

345440, 715963

Abstract:

Generating a child timeline on a drawing sheet of a diagramming program such that the child timeline is dynamically linked to a parent timeline. An automated method allows for the automatic placing of information on the child timeline that was on the parent timeline when the child timeline is created. Parent and child timelines can be modified and a child timeline can be automatically updated when changes are made to the parent timeline and these changes affect the time interval corresponding to the child timeline.
