| 20090295836 | System and method for representing large activity diagrams - An Activity Diagram is partitioned into appropriately-sized panels. The panels are arranged in the time order of the activities in them. Unused swim lanes are eliminated from each panel, and thus each panel is compressed without adversely affecting legibility. Each swim lane is labeled on each panel. Conditional elements are repeated (and flagged when repeated) if necessary to represent their second path on one or more later panels in the sequence. The panels are displayed to a reader in any of a number of possible media (e.g., electronic, printed, etc.). The system and method solve the large diagram problem by simultaneously allowing for readability and navigability. | 12-03-2009 |

A best fit geometrical shape is then selected from the database, the best fit geometrical shape having contours approximately matching the contours of the manual geometric shape. The best fit geometrical shape is scaled to have dimensions approximately matching dimensions of the manual geometric shape. The best fit geometrical to shape is stored as a second geometric data set and the first geometric data set is replaced thereby. The best fit geometric shape is then displayed to the user on the display. | 07-12-2012 |
