Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes determining a sequence of image elements. For each image element in the sequence, a position in an array of contiguous image elements is determined. The position may be based on several factors, including at least: a size of the image element (large or small), an order of the image element in the sequence, and dimensions of the display array. The array of image elements may be rendered for display to the user such that the layout of the image elements is contiguous. If the user provides input re-sizing an image element or re-ordering the sequence of image elements, the array may be re-rendered.
