Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to web page layout and provide a novel and non-obvious system for managing white space in a web page. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for managing white space in a web page includes detecting white space adjacent to a non-rectangular shaped portlet rendered on the web page. The method further includes measuring a non-rectangular shape of the white space and selecting a graphic having a shape congruent with the shape of the white space. The method further includes rendering the graphic that was selected into the white space.
