Disclosed herein are computer-implemented method, system, and computer-program product (computer-readable storage medium) embodiments for contextual deep expansion in user-interface trees. An embodiment includes configuring at least one computer processor to perform operations that include accessing, in a hierarchical data structure, a first-level data structure including a first group of one or more first-level elements, and a second-level data structure including second group of one or more second-level elements, and a third-level data structure including third group of one or more third-level elements. An embodiment may further include operations of presenting, via an interface, a handle corresponding to at least the third group and the given second-level element, in response to a first input event configured to expand the first-level data structure, and deeply expanding a presentation of the hierarchical data structure, in response to the second input, to show at least some elements of the first, second, and third groups.

Contextual deep expansion in user-interface trees

Methods and systems of the present disclosure provide techniques to improve the display of and merge the results of one or more searches of a computer document in a simple, user-controlled manner. One method involves receiving a query, and searching files to identify any matches to the query. Another method involves visually marking the matches on the display so that the matches can be easily compared to the matches of subsequent queries. A method is also provided in which a user can pin the results of one query to a viewing pane of the display so that the results can be easily compared to the results of subsequent queries.

Display of located text in a computer document

Systems and methods are provided for displaying a range slider comprising a left handle and a right handle, wherein the left handle and the right handle are separated by a distance greater than a predetermined threshold distance, and detecting a first user interaction with the range slider to move a first selected handle from a first position to a second position. Systems and methods further provide for determining, that the second position of the first selected handle results in the left handle and the right handle being separated by a distance less than the predetermined threshold distance. The systems and methods further provide for detecting a second user interaction with the range slider to move a second selected handle, determining, based on the second user interaction, a direction of movement of the second selected handle, and causing the distance between the left handle and the right handle to stay constant such that the range of the left handle and the right handle moves in the direction of movement of the second selected handle, based on a determination that the second selected handle is the left handle and the initial direction of movement is to the right or that the second selected handle is the right handle and the initial direction of movement is to the left.

Interaction mechanisms for range slider control

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method comprises displaying a first portion of a representation a first and a second hierarchical structure, each of the first hierarchical structure and the second hierarchical structure including a plurality of fields, displaying a representation of mappings between fields of the first hierarchical structure and the second hierarchical structure, receiving a predetermined user command associated with a particular field of the second hierarchical structure, in response to receiving the predetermined user command, if the displayed first portion of the representation of the first hierarchical structure includes no field mapped to the particular field of the second hierarchical structure, displaying a second portion of the first structure including at least one field mapped to the particular field of the second hierarchical structure, and, if the at least one field mapped to the particular field of the second hierarchical structure is hidden, expand the second portion of the first hierarchical structure until the at least one field mapped to the particular field of the second hierarchical structure becomes visible.

Efficient navigation through hierarchical mappings

A software development environment receives an input string from a user, and searches for the input string in a plurality of program code files. The system then displays a result of the scope of the search on a viewport of a display unit, wherein the search result includes miniature views of the program code files. In an embodiment, the search result on the viewport of the display unit includes equally-sized tiles. In another embodiment, the result on the viewport of the display unit includes a set of closely-packed blocks with a varying compression rate applied to the closely-packed blocks.

Pattern recognition of software program code in an integrated software development environment

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for a grid-based rendering of nodes and relationships between nodes. One example method includes identifying model information that identifies nodes and relationships between nodes. The identified nodes are rendered, in a grid layout in a graphical model. Each cell of the grid includes at most one node, and the cells are separated by lane areas in which connections can be rendered. Connections between the nodes are rendered in the lane areas. The connections correspond to the relationships between the related nodes. One or more portions of the connections are overlapped when two or more connections are drawn in a same lane area. The connections, the nodes, the lane areas are selectable. A user selection of a selectable item is received. In response to the user selection, the connections and nodes that are associated with the selectable item are highlighted.

Grid-based rendering of nodes and relationships between nodes

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for specifying a desired range of values. An embodiment operates by displaying a range slider bar on a graphical user interface, and iteratively performing several steps. The steps include receiving a new position for a handle on the range slider bar, wherein the new position specifies a first range of values within a second range of values, partitioning the second range of values into a plurality of sub-ranges, wherein each sub-range comprises two boundary values. The steps further include determining a mapping between a set of accessible positions on the range slider bar and a plurality of values within the second range, wherein, for each sub-range, the difference of values assigned to consecutive accessible positions corresponding to the sub-range increases exponentially when moving from a boundary value of the sub-range to another boundary value of the sub-range. The steps also include, in response to identifying that the first range is identical to the desired range, terminating the iterations. At least one of the displaying, receiving, partitioning, determining, and terminating are performed by one or more computers.

User interface control for smart range slider

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for interacting with a UI design in a first context and automatically performing and previewing related interactions with the UI design in at least one other context. A computer-implemented method includes, in one example, presenting a user interface (UI) layout for a first context in a primary display and a UI layout for at least one additional context in a secondary display. A modification to a UI element in the first context is identified, and a corresponding modification to the UI layout in at least one of the additional contexts based on the modification is made. The determined modification to the UI layout in at least one of the additional contexts is performed, and updated UI layouts for the first context in the primary display and the at least one additional context in the secondary display are presented.

Grid designer for multiple contexts

Users design and develop a current version of an application to be rendered on different devices. The application is configured and deployed with its current version on a platform server. The application can run on different servers provided from different platforms. A desktop browser displays the current version of the application by loading a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The current version of the application can be tested both on a desktop browser and on a browser, installed on a remote device. Additionally, a visually encoded dynamic code is generated that is scanned by a remote device to launch the deployed version of the application. The visually encoded dynamic code encrypts dynamic information for locating the deployed application that is dependent on the platform server used for deployment. After displaying the current version on the remote device, further points for improvement of the design and functionality of the application are defined.
