ABSTRACT:
A system user defines a template for the arrangement of icons (or objects) in a container. The template is a selection of grid cells into which icons may be placed during rearrangement. The user defined template is dropped onto a container causing the container to be rearranged so that icons occupy only the positions selected for occupation by the template. An alternate embodiment displays a grid of cells contained in a container selected for rearrangement, allowing the user to select the final pattern at the time of rearrangement.
