Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating the display and use of objects in content creation environments, for example, by ensuring minimum object size properties for objects that would otherwise appear small or invisible. Various methods evaluate how to display objects in a collection or arrangement of objects while addressing potential conflicts and paradoxes that might otherwise exist based on the how size properties of the objects are defined in relation to one another. Certain embodiments facilitate improved display of nested containers including those whose size properties are defined as size to content. Certain embodiments also facilitate the improved display of containers whose children's size properties depend upon container size properties.
