ABSTRACT:
A flexible system for changing the physical manifestation of an object in an object-oriented computer environment is provided. The object to be manifested (a "costume" object) is associated with a target object having a corresponding physical appearance. The costume object responds to requests that it physically manifest itself by transmitting a message to the target object requesting that the target object manifest itself, but also including parameter values describing the costume objects on-screen location or similar properties. In this manner, a costume object is capable of presenting itself wearing the target object's "costume" or appearance.
