Abstract
A smart guide display system identifies, for a subject object, a nearest candidate reference object in each of multiple directions (e.g., to the top, the right, the bottom, and the left of the subject object). The smart guide display system also determines the distance from the subject object to each of those nearest candidate reference objects. The smart guide display system displays equal spacing smart guides to the nearest candidate reference objects along two different axes if the distances between the subject object and those nearest reference objects are approximately equal.
