Abstract:
1. A method for changing the dimensions of an electronically stored image, the electronically stored image being composed of individual objects that are arranged below or next to one another or that fully or partially overlap one another, in which the electronically stored image is changed in at least one horizontal or vertical image dimension and at least some of the individual objects are changed in at least one horizontal or vertical object dimension, the method comprising: assigning object properties to each individual object using a data processing program that operates on a data processing system, the object properties being assigned for arranging and changing the size of the individual objects in the event of a change in the horizontal and/or vertical image dimension; and storing the object properties in a memory module, the object properties define a changeability of the individual objects, the object properties having a preference data, the preference data of all the individual objects are changed on the basis of the remaining object properties, the preference data defining a change speed, wherein the individual objects can be changed at the same time, individual objects with a lower preference data undergo a greater change in size than individual objects with a greater preference data wherein at least some individual objects are drawing objects, wherein the object properties additionally comprise a boundary data which defines a tolerance range, wherein the change in size of the drawing object also takes place by cutting off or adding an edge area to at least one side of the drawing object.
