Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating graphical objects. One embodiment of the invention includes generating a graphical object in a first graphical layout and behavioral attribute data associated with the graphical object. The behavioral attribute data defines physical parameters of the graphical object relative to a graphical layout. In response to placing the graphical object in a second graphical layout, the behavior attribute data is configured to automatically and dynamically manipulate the physical parameters of the graphical object with respect to the second graphical layout. The behavioral attribute data includes position attribute data defining a position of the graphical object with respect to the first graphical layout. The position attribute data dynamically and automatically manipulates a position of the graphical object in response to the graphical object being placed in the second graphical layout. The position attribute data further defines a position on an X axis and a Y axis of a two dimensional graph and rotational position with respect to the first graphical layout. The behavioral attribute data also includes scaling attribute data indicative of a size of the graphical object with respect to a size of the first graphical layout. The scaling attribute data automatically and dynamically manipulates scales the size of the graphical art object in response to the graphical object being placed in the second graphic layout.
