ABSTRACT:
A rule based parametric design apparatus and method utilize one or more predetermined designs including draw primitives and/or other objects. Designs for the draw primitives are preferably created by artists who refine and distill the designs into a set of rules, with the rules residing in a computer program. This allows the original, or "parent" design, to be automatically adapted to differently shaped and sized windows and window groupings, while the shapes of the grouping change as units are added to the overall design, the unity of the overall art work is maintained. A computer, with associated memory to store the various data tables, implements the algorithms and program constraints associated with the present invention.
