Questions about Grid Compression and Object Remapping

What are the key benefits of grid compression in display spaces?

Grid compression helps optimize screen real estate by condensing the grid and reducing space between clusters of objects, leading to improved organization and efficiency.

How does object remapping contribute to better spatial organization?

Object remapping ensures that objects are rearranged in the display space to reduce clutter and enhance visual clarity, maintaining relative positioning within clusters.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer implemented method includes obtaining a grid cell size for multiple clusters of objects in a display space. The objects are mapped to cells in the grid having the grid cell size. A grid compression threshold value expressed as a number of cells is used to condense the grid by removing cells based on the grid compression threshold value. The objects are remapped in the display space such that space between clusters of objects is reduced while maintaining relative positioning of objects within the clusters.
