Abstract
A method and system for creating a recursive scalable template instance (RSTI) in an electronic data table having dimensions D1 and D2. A recursive scalable template (RST) associated with the RSTI is selected such that the RSTI is to be structured in accordance with the RST. A plurality of contiguous recursive element instances (REIs) of the RSTI is created in a memory of a computer system. The REIs are ordered and aligned along the dimension D1. Each REI has a same size along the dimension D2. Each RET includes at least one scalable template instance (STI). Each REI is structured according to a recursive element (RE) defined for the RST such that the RE includes at least one scalable template (ST). Each ST of the RE is instanced to generate an associated scalable template instance (STI) of an REI of the plurality of REIs.
