| Abstract | Constraints provide a declarative means for specifying relationships that we wish to hold true. Interactive graphical applications give rise to varying kinds of constraints, and researchers have developed diverse constraint solving techniques. I survey the classes of constraints used by numerous drawing, graph layout, visualization and animation systems. I describe a taxonomy of the constraint solving methods used to satisfy these systems and compare solver expressiveness and performance. Though backtracking algorithms have not yet been used successfully in interactive graphical applications, I summarize work on various backtracking algorithms and suggest ways to begin to improve their performance so they might be used in the user interface domain. |
