Abstract
Technologies are described herein for determining the display of equal spacing guides between diagram shapes. The nearest neighbors of each shape in a diagram are determined, and the distances between each shape and its nearest neighbors are calculated. When an active shape in the diagram is positioned or moved, spacing guides are displayed between shapes having equidistant spacing when the calculated distances between shapes become equal to a distance between the active shape and one of its nearest neighbors.
