Abstract
Dynamic tutorial generation for user help and user guidance in generating a property of an exemplar object is provided. The user identifies the exemplar object, the object or one of its properties is analyzed, user operations for producing the property of the object are determined, and the determined user operations are presented. Path finding logic may be used to identify a sequence of states using transform operations to reach a goal state with the desired property of the object. Transformation operations may be applied and the resulting states may each be compared to the goal state using a heuristic that yields a similarity metric between each of the resulting states and the goal state.
