Abstract

See full text

A system having a processor is provided that visually manipulates objects on a touch screen responsive to inputs through the touch screen. The processor may be responsive to first motion inputs received through an input device to: move a selected first object on a workspace relative to an unselected and unconnected second object on the workspace displayed through a display device while maintaining a size, shape, and orientation of the first object; determine a connection between the selected first object and the unselected second object; and snap the selected first object to a connection position on the workspace such that the first and second objects display a preview of the connection. The processor may form the connection responsive to completion of the first motion inputs. Based on the formed connection, the processor may cause movement of at least a portion of the unselected and connected second object on the workspace responsive to second motions inputs that cause the first object to move on the workspace.
