We review the literature on automatic document formatting with an emphasis on recent work in the field. Expand

We present a generic new technique for efficiently handling such kinds of constraints based on trust regions and linear arithmetic constraint solving and demonstrate that it is possible to (re-)solve systems of linear constraints that are dynamically approximating complex constraints such as non-overlap sufficiently quickly to support direct manipulation in interactive graphical applications. Expand

A method is described for designing bitstreams that can be used to test MPEG decoders without requiring prior knowledge of the particular circuit implementation. Expand

We present at a new approach to finding aesthetically pleasing page layouts with floating figures referenced within text where floats can have alternate sizes, may be optional, move from one side to the other and change their order. Expand

We present a new approach to table layout that extends the current standard by allowing the designer to specify arbitrary linear equality and inequality constraints over the column widths and row heights. Expand

Multi-column layout with horizontal scrolling has a number of advantages over the standard model (single column with vertical scrolling) for on-line document layout. Expand

We give a simple and efficient algorithm for solving a continuous relaxation of the layout problem in which each cell must be large enough to contain the area of its content. Expand
