Abstract
A system for updating the location of elements in a computer display, upon a change in the size and/or configuration of the display, that relocates objects originally rendered on a display device which has been moved or resized in a location which preserves the original, visual appearance of objects handled by that display device. A move vector is determined which quantifies movement of a display device origin. A scale vector is determined which quantifies changes in display device size to proportionalize movement for each object. Together, these two vectors indicate a placement position for a relocated object.
