Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product for displaying representative images within one or more subpanels of a user interface is disclosed. The method comprises configuring, by a processor unit, an adjacent relationship between a visible subpanel of the one or more subpanels and at least one not-visible subpanel of the one or more subpanels. Next, a second relationship is configured between each of two or more representative images and an associated subpanel of the one or more subpanels, wherein the second relationship defines a location on the associated subpanel where each of the two or more representative images is displayed. Additionally, a notification is received indicating a new orientation for at least one of the one or more subpanels. In response to the new orientation, an in-place rotation animation is generated for the two or more representative images based on the adjacent relationship and the second relationship. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also presented.
