Abstract
Techniques for generating layout may include: receiving data corresponding to images modules; determining that a set of the image modules will fit a layout; assigning image modules from the set to the layout; determining a number of possible permutations of the image modules given one or more constraints associated with images in the set of image modules; selecting a number of candidate templates to accommodate the layout, where the number of candidate templates is based on the number of permutations; filling candidate templates with image modules from the set; receiving an input selecting one of the candidate templates containing image modules from the set; and outputting data for the selected candidate template, the data for generating a display of the selected candidate template.
