Abstract
Methods and systems for facilitating object movement using markers are disclosed. A marker may provide information about a “binding” that specifies how a component of an object will automatically move in response to a movement of another component of the object. By using bindings to link the movements of an objects' components, a developer can simplify how the object's movement is controlled, for example, so that moving one component causes the rest of the components to automatically move in a desired manner. Displaying markers for these bindings provides, among other things, a convenient means for a developer to observe and/or change a component's movement behavior (i.e., the behavior that is specified by the bindings).
