Abstract

Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for computer-assisted graphical development. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes providing a GUI that includes at least one manipulable graphical object having one or more edges or vertices and a virtual pivot point, providing a dragger handle at a first position in the GUI, the dragger handle operable via user input to alter one or more of: a size, location, scale, or characteristic of the at least one manipulable graphical object based on the virtual pivot point, wherein the dragger handle is at least initially displayed on at least one of the one or more edges or vertices, receiving a request to summon the dragger handle, and, in response to the request, moving positioning the dragger handle to a different position in the GUI separate from the at least one manipulable graphical object.
