Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method that defines a group of associated graphic objects for display on a display device. The method defines a set of operations to perform on the associated graphic objects in a particular order. The operations include one or more transforms applied to at least one of the graphic objects. For each particular transform applied to a set of the graphic objects, each graphic object in the set has a set of parameters indicating whether the graphic object is affected by each of a set of primitive transforms of the particular transform. The method stores the set of associated graphic objects and set of operations as a single graphic object.
