Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for creating shape collages are provided. The method includes receiving a shape specification signal which specifies at least one desired shape having an area. The method further includes receiving image data which represents a plurality of images. The method still further includes processing the shape specification signal and the image data to obtain a shape collage of the images at least partially covering the area of the at least one desired shape. The step of processing may include the steps of at least partially covering the at least one desired shape with at least one shape primitive and placing at least one image over the at least one shape primitive to at least partially fill the at least one shape primitive. The method may further include receiving a command signal to either locate a user-specified image essentially or approximately at a desired location in the shape collage or resize the user-specified image from an initial size in the initial collage to a desired size. The method may still further include processing the command signal and the shape collage to create a finished shape collage having either the user-specified image essentially or approximately at the desired location or the user-specified image with the desired size to increase visual appeal of the finished shape collage to the user.
