Abstract

Technologies are described to provide smart flipping of groups of objects. According to some examples, a graphics module within an application may determine whether an object within a group of objects to be flipped is flippable, that is can be flipped without resulting in loss of object context after the flip operation. Then, the graphics module may flip the group of objects translating all objects (moving their locations to appropriate new locations based on the flip operation), flipping the Objects that can be flipped, and not flipping the object deemed not flippable, thereby preserving the displayed context of the object.
