ABSTRACT
The concept of the genealogical approach to the layout problem is presented. The system pursues the idea of flexible modules and is capable of dealing with arbitrarily complex tasks.
The genealogical tree of the system provides a mainframe for organizing the information flow. Results of the system routines are described in terms of transitions between flexibility classes of modules.

A Reduction of Grid-Bag Layout to Auckland Layout
ASWEC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 21st Australian Software Engineering ConferenceMany major programming platforms support layout managers in Grid-bag style, where GUI elements can be placed on a rectangular grid. In Grid-bag layout mangers, cells of the underlying grid can be merged in order to create more complex layouts. In this ...
