Abstract:
A method for automatically fitting the graphical display of an object in a display space to the size of a display window, comprising:(a) saving a page that includes an object in a scalable page; (b) generating a size for a display space of the scalable page, the size of the display space being related to a default size of a container for the scalable page; (c) generating a size and a position for the object included in the scalable page, the size and the position of the object being related to the size of the display space of the scalable page; (d) determining if a dimension of a display window is different than a corresponding dimension of the display space of the scalable page, and if so (i) generating a scalar that is related to the difference in the dimension of the display window and the corresponding dimension of the display space of the scalable page, the scalar being employed to calculate another size for the display space of the scalable page that is related to the size of the display window and the default size of the master display space, the calculation of the other size of the display space causing the related size and position of the object to be changed in proportion to the other size of the display space; and (ii) automatically relocating the graphical display of the display space of the scalable page and the changed size and position of the object in the display window, so that a user can view the object in the display space without having to scroll the display window.
