These properties were intended to serve as a basis for an automatic placement tool (Bodart et al. 1994) however, specific metrics and acceptable ranges were not tested. Other efforts at automatic layout may lead to useful tools for some situations (Feiner, 1988; Kim Foley, 1993; Byrne et ....

The evolution of modern user interfaces, like multimedia interfaces, has sparked research in automated evaluation based on visual techniques.

.... strategies for computer aided visual placement of interaction objects on the basis of localization, dimensioning and arrangement have been introduced (Bodart et al. 1994) These techniques of localization, dimensioning and arrangement were based on some of the visual techniques introduced by Vanderdonckt and Gillo (1994). Mathematical relationships were defined to improve the practicability, the workability and the applicability of the visual principles into a systematic strategy, but specific metrics and acceptance ranges were not tested. Visual techniques introduced for multimedia layout frames have only rarely ....

....application domain. These phenomena are then reflected in the user interface by widgets, message sequences, animated help and similar constructs. The problem of producing adequate visual presentations from models has received less attention than the functional aspects, although awareness exists [29]. Obviously, there is a virtually infinite number of different application domains. However, design knowledge should be domain independent so that it can be stated once and applied to many different domains. It is difficult to strike a balance, as rules and guidelines must not be too general, as ....

A comprehensive list of layout techniques is presented in [29], largely based on the philosophy of graphic design. However, such recommendations for graphic layout are aimed to be a knowledge resource for the more experienced interface designers.

Some principles are very straightforward to apply, some other ....

About 300 guidelines for these dimensions have been gathered [1] Both strategies have common properties: # they apply some mathematical relationships and visual principles [12]; # they are based on the information ordering for promoting visual continuity; # they rely on the information structure and definition for reflecting structure, grouping and proximity. But these strategies differ in the sense they strive for different visual criteria by using different ....

....design decisions of layouts First things first : the users task and the information to be displayed are to be defined before applying visual principles. Numerous inspiring visual principles come from graphical arts, graphical techniques, screen design guidelines, visual and verbal communication [1,5,6,9,12]. These visual principles are useful for clarifying how layouts should be formatted, structured and organised, but do not say anything about the content itself. The principles have been arranged in opposite poles on a same scale not only to demonstrate and accentuate the wide range of possible ....

On the other side, it is necessary to interpret these principles (which are independent of the domain of user interfaces) into rules or guidelines to be followed. It is not so easy to determine a realistic set of rules from these principles in order to work with properly (Kim, 1990) However, ....
