Abstract:
1. A computer executable method for displaying elements of an information array within a predetermined two dimensional display space, wherein the predetermined two dimensional display space is divided into cells formed at intersections of columns and rows, the elements of the information array have corresponding cells for display, and at least two of said elements include text, said method comprising the steps of: (a) determining display space requirement (DSR) for displaying the elements; (b) moderating the DSR value of at least one element to determine its moderated display space requirement (ModDSR) value, wherein said moderating step comprises: (c) allocating column widths and row heights, based on the ModDSR values or on values obtained by using the ModDSR values, such that the total width of all the columns and the total height of all the rows do not exceed the width and height, respectively, of the predetermined two dimensional display space; and (d) displaying the elements in the space allocated to the corresponding cells.
