The present disclosure is directed toward systems, and corresponding computer-readable media and methods for resizing a graphical user interface. For instance, the systems described herein detect a user selection of an object within a graphical user interface, segment the user selection into quadrants, and move the quadrants to resize the selected object based on the user input. The systems further place a pivot point within the selected object to partition the object into the quadrants. The systems detect movement of one or more selected edges and move the quadrants together with movement of the one or more selected edges to resize the selected object.

Designing and resizing graphical user interfaces

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for facilitating layout designs. In embodiments, an input event is detected indicating a desire to include a new object within a layout design including a first component. Thereafter, it is determined that the first component within the layout is to be modified to accommodate a second component containing the new object. The layout design is automatically modified to include the first component and the second component in the layout design.

Dynamic layout design

Techniques to control shape interaction in a user interface are described. In one or more implementations, a method is described of controlling user interface shape interaction by a computing device. A shape is displayed in a user interface by the computing device, the shape described using a plurality of points, each of the points having an associated radius. An input is detected, by the computing device, involving modification of the associated radius of least one of the plurality of points. A determination is made, by the computing device, whether modification of the associated radius of the at least one point causes an intersection of the associated radius of one or more of the plurality of points neighboring the at least one point. Responsive to the determination that the modification causes the intersection, the associated radius of the one or more points are modified such that the intersection does not occur. The shape is displayed by the computing device as having the modified associated radius of the at least one point.
