Abstract
A system and method for improving user feedback during graphical edits by dynamically propagating each incremental edit through the dependency tree and displaying real-time updates to the graphic representation as the updates are being made. By updating the image through the entire dependency tree at the earliest possible time, without waiting for the user to complete his edit or to perform an action which manually indicates an update, the user is given improved feedback during the editing process.
