Abstract
A method for cropping portions of a document comprises displaying an interactive document workspace with a cropping tool on a sub-area thereof, and rendering one or more formatting indicators spatially associated with the sub-area, the indicators indicating formatting properties of the sub-area.
Claims26
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon, said computer program product comprising:
- code, which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to display a document in a document work area;
- code, which, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to provide a plurality of selectable crop tool options, wherein each crop tool option corresponds with one of a plurality of crop tools, each defining a crop area of the document having an aspect ratio of a display format standard;
- code, which, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to display one of the crop tools, wherein the displayed crop tool corresponds with a selected crop tool option;
- and
- code, which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to generate one or more indicators of the aspect ratio of the selected crop tool option, wherein the indicators comprise a ruler displayed in the document work area, wherein the ruler indicates a dimension of the crop area in pixels of the selected crop tool option, and wherein the ruler indicates a side boundary of the crop area of the selected crop tool option.

A method for cropping portions of electronic document, said method comprising:
- displaying, on a computer, the document in an interactive document workspace with a selected cropping tool defining a sub-area of the document workspace, wherein the sub-area has an aspect ratio corresponding with an aspect ratio of a particular display format standard, and wherein the cropping tool is selected from a plurality of selectable cropping tools, each defining a crop area having an aspect ratio of a display format standard;
- and
- rendering one or more formatting indicators spatially associated with said sub-area, said indicators indicating the aspect ratio of the display format standard, wherein the indicators comprise a ruler displayed in the document workspace, wherein the ruler indicates a dimension of the sub-area in pixels of the particular display format standard, and wherein the ruler indicates a side boundary of the sub-area.
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon, said computer program product comprising:
- code, which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to display an interactive document area allowing for the manipulation of visual objects thereon;
- code, which, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to provide a plurality of selectable crop tool options wherein each crop tool option corresponds with one of a plurality of crop tools, each defining a crop area of the document having an aspect ratio of a display format standard;
- code, which, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to display one of the crop tools, wherein the displayed crop tool corresponds with a selected crop tool option;
- and
- code, which, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to generate one or more visual indicators of the aspect ratio of the selected crop tool option, wherein the indicators comprise a ruler displayed in the document work area, wherein the ruler indicates a dimension of the crop area in pixels of the selected crop tool option, and wherein the ruler indicates a side boundary of the crop area of the selected crop tool option.

A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon, said computer program product comprising:
- code, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to display a user interface that includes editable artwork thereon for export to an application;
- code, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to provide a selected crop tool that indicates and crops a crop area on said user interface, wherein the crop area has an aspect ratio corresponding with an aspect ratio of a particular display format standard, and wherein the selected crop tool is selected from a plurality of selectable crop tools, each defining a crop area having an aspect ratio of a display format standard;
- and
- code, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to generate one or more indicators of the aspect ratio of the display format standard, wherein the indicators comprise a ruler indicating a dimension of the crop area in pixels of the particular display format standard, and wherein the ruler indicates a side boundary of the crop area.
