ABSTRACT:
Input image data define an input image set that shows a graphical representation of a layout with two or more segments. The graphical representation can be a sketch, and can include, for example, a rectangular boundary with lines parallel to its sides defining rectangular segments within the boundary. The input image data are used to obtain segment source data indicating a source for each segment and segment position data indicating a position for each segment. The segment source data can indicate, for each segment of the layout, one of a number of source images in the input image set. The segment position data can indicate a reference point and a width and height for each segment. The source image for a segment can be a sketch of a graphical representation--such as a node-link structure, a parallel length graph, a proportioned parts graph, a row/column representation, a perimeter relationship representation, or a two-dimensional graph--that can be categorized and rendered to obtain data defining a precisely formed graphical representation. The segment source data for other segments and the segment position data can be used with the data defining the precisely formed graphical representation to obtain output image data defining an output image that includes a layout as represented by the graphical representation.
