Abstract
An object stack feature for graphical user interfaces can include a method for arranging items displayed in a visual interface into a stack where each item of the stack has a corresponding visual representation in the stack. The method can include in response to receiving an indication to stack two or more items displayed in a visual interface, creating a stack object comprising a list of the two or more items and a seed value for an ordered seed. The ordered seed can be supplied to an arrangement function that outputs positions for items in the stack object. An arrangement can be generated using the arrangement function and each of the two or more items can be displayed in the visual interface in the arrangement generated by the arrangement function.
