空间布局经常用于管理松散组织的信息，如桌面图标和数字墨水。为了帮助用户有效地组织这种类型的信息，我们提出了一个接口，用于操纵对象的空间聚合。聚集的对象被自动识别为一个组，并且组结构被可视化为围绕对象的二维气泡表面。用户可以通过操作气泡来拖动、复制或删除组。此外，为了帮助在密集聚合中挑选出单个对象，系统会在请求时分散对象以避免重叠。本文描述了该接口的设计和实现。我们在图标分组和墨水重定位任务中测试了我们的技术，并观察到用户性能的改善。
Spatial layout is frequently used for managing loosely organized information, such as desktop icons and digital ink. To help users organize this type of information efficiently, we propose an interface for manipulating spatial aggregations of objects. The aggregated objects are automatically recognized as a group, and the group structure is visualized as a two-dimensional bubble surface that surrounds the objects. Users can drag, copy, or delete a group by operating on the bubble. Furthermore, to help pick out individual objects in a dense aggregation, the system spreads the objects to avoid overlapping when requested. This paper describes the design of this interface and its implementation. We tested our technique in icon grouping and ink relocation tasks and observed improvements in user performance.
