Abstract

A method and system for managing and organizing objects in a virtual workspace is disclosed. The method and system display a plurality of objects and containers on the virtual workspace. The objects and containers are assigned to corresponding layers. The method and system receive user input for changing the corresponding layer of one or more of the objects and containers, recursively fit test each of the layers for an overlap between the one or more of the objects and containers and each container assigned to each layer based on the user input, incorporate the one or more objects and containers into a target container assigned to a target layer when the overlap exceeds a predetermined threshold, and assigns the one or more of the objects and containers to a background layer when the overlap fails to exceed the predetermined threshold in the fit testing.
