ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and apparatus that, in some embodiments, displays one or more guides when a selected object moves into a particular alignment with one or more other objects is described. The one or more guides may be used to align the objects in relation to one another. In this way, the screen is free from the clutter of guides when they are not needed, but the guides are present when they are needed, i.e., when the selected object moves into or near alignment with another object or objects.
