For example, “Format appears to the left of DateFormat” is a con- straint. We can write the constraint mathematically as: ¦ ¨ ¥ ¦ 1. INTRODUCTION ¥ Format right § horiz spacing DateFormat left.

The task of finding for storage and distribution on the Web. SVG can dramatically appropriate values is delegated to a constraint solver that is improve graphics on the Web. In contrast to raster image for- used during rendering. For example, assume that we want to display a part of the Java object hierarchy (Figure 1), but we want different lay- outs to be used in different viewing conditions so as to convey the information as clearly as possible. In a landscape format, we may want to use a diagram such as Figure 2, whereas a portrait format would be better served by the layout of Fig- ure 3. Although these diagrams look very different, they have the same logical (topological) structure and semantics. Using Copyright is held by the author/owner. WWW10, May 1-5, 2001, Hong Kong.

The network, shown in Figure 4(a), connects three different buildings — A, B, and C — via a site-wide backbone. Shrinking the whole diagram uniformly may cause buildings A, B, and C to become too small to display their internal details. By using an alternative presentation for each of the buildings we can support a more powerful form of resizing. Figure 4(b) shows a possible result. Zooming that preserves the semantic presentation of the LAN topology diagram but changes its Figure 1: SVG image diagramming the object hierarchy appearance is called semantic zooming.

The SVG source for this Semantic zooming in combination with user interaction can image appears in Figure 5. allow viewers to explore a diagram interactively, selecting sub- components they wish to see in detail and hiding the details of other sub-components. Of course the diagram layout must change dynamically, preserving connections and also effec- tively utilizing the available screen space. We would also like SVG to provide a form of zooming that we term differential scaling. (Both semantic zooming and dif- ferential scaling are kinds of focus+context techniques [31].) In contrast to uniform scaling, differential scaling enables us to enlarge a part of a diagram to see more detail, while simultane- ously shrinking another part, so that the overall screen area for the diagram is kept constant. This capability clearly involves Figure 2: CSVG rendering of the Format class hierarchy scaling various parts of the figure differently. An important inside a wide and short viewport. application of this non-uniform scaling is to the sizing of text in diagrams. A sight-impaired user, for instance, may want to shrink the overall size but to increase text font size in la- bels. As an example, see Figure 4(c), which contains the same ics objects. The only flexibility that SVG allows is uniform graphical components as Figure 4(a) but with an increased text scaling of the entire graphic. size for labels and smaller boxes. Note that this means differ- Another limitation of SVG is that it provides little direct ent line breaking for the text in the labels. support for interactive exploration of a diagram.

The idea of interactive manipulation and exploration of a diagram naturally generalizes to an interaction metaphor in which the viewer uses the diagram as a simulation of some physical artifact and can explore “what-if” scenarios by direct manipulation and other interaction, as in the original ThingLab system [6]. In section 3.2, we discuss an interactive abacus. The same principle can be further generalized to provide constraint-based animation [14]. In addition to making the properties of some graphical objects dependent on the prop- erties of other objects, and allowing the user to manipulate these properties interactively, we can also make these prop- erties dependent on a timer variable. Using a constraint that relates object properties to a time offset gives us an immediate way to specify trajectories and other animation properties. In section 3.3, we discuss a seesaw animation.

They can be used in making simple toys, airplane engine components, custom pills, large buildings components or human organs. Depending on process, materials and precision, 3D printer costs range from hundreds to millions of dollars. 3D printing makes possible the manufacturing of devices and components that cannot be constructed cost-effectively with other manufacturing techniques (injection molding, computerized milling, etc.). It also makes possible the fabrications of customized devices, or individual (instead of identical mass-manufactured) units.
