Objects Alignment and Distribution Layout

A method of objects alignment and distribution layout in an object layout interface, the method comprising:

• displaying the object layout interface that includes objects displayed for selection and manipulation;
• receiving a reposition input that repositions a selected object in the object layout interface;
• determining an alignment layout of the objects based on the reposition input of the selected object;
• positioning the selected object in alignment with multiple ones of the objects based on the determined alignment layout of the objects, at least one edge of the selected object being aligned along an axis with an edge of each of the multiple objects;
• and
• displaying an alignment indication for each instance of the selected object being aligned with the edge of each of the multiple objects, at least one of the alignment indications indicating an alignment of a border edge of the selected object being aligned with a vertical center or a horizontal center of one of the multiple objects.

A computing device implemented for objects alignment and distribution layout in an object layout interface, the computing device comprising:

• a display device configured to display the object layout interface that includes objects displayed for selection and manipulation;
• a memory and processor system configured to execute a layout algorithm as a computer application that is implemented to:
• receive a reposition input that repositions a selected object in the object layout interface;
• determine a distribution layout of the objects based on the reposition input of the selected object;
• position, based on the determined distribution layout of the objects, the selected object equidistant between at least two of the objects or at a distance from a closest one of the objects, the distance being an equivalent distance of a space between the at least two objects;
• and
• displaying the space between the selected object and the at least two objects as positive space that visually indicates the equidistance between the selected object and the at least two objects.
