Information in a diagram is logically structured using lists, containers, and callouts without requiring the diagram author to explicitly define a structure or map any diagram contents to a structure. Logical relationships are inferred based on actions associated with shapes, groupings, and attributes of shapes/groupings taken by the author. Feedback mechanisms are provided to communicate an underlying structure to the author. Intelligent behaviors are enabled to expose manipulation of diagrams based on their logical structure.

Inferring diagram structure through implicit shape relationships

A facility for adapting a subject color to be compatible with a basis color is described. The facility accesses a color transformation specification that specifies how the subject color is to be adapted to be compatible with the basis color. The facility then applies the accessed color transformation specification to the subject color to adapt the subject color to be compatible with the basis color.
