TL;DR: In this article, a method for editing graphic objects in an interactive draw graphic system which selectively displays a menu of available editing actions in response to operation of one mouse button by the operator and allows the operator to cursor select the specific edit action from the menu to be made active by operating a second mouse key.
Abstract: A method is described for editing graphic objects in an interactive draw graphic system which selectively displays a menu of available editing actions in response to operation of one mouse button by the operator and allows the operator to cursor select the specific edit action from the menu to be made active by operating a second mouse key. The operator may also cursor select the object to be edited by operation of the second mouse key. Once the editing action is selected and made active, the menu is hidden (not displayed) and the editing action remains active in the system until positive steps are taken by the operator to either terminate the edit function or change the active editing action. The operator, therefore, does not have to return to the selection process after each specific editing operation. The previous editing operation is implied for the next edit operation.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for editing sub-objects in an interactive draw graphic application which allows the operator to apply the edit action to the sub-object without affecting the rest of the object is presented.
Abstract: A method for editing sub-objects in an interactive draw graphic application which allows the operator to apply the edit action to the sub-object without affecting the rest of the object. Vertices of the object that are defined by the adjacent common end points of the sub-object are assigned attributes that either permit or prevent the end points from being separated during the sub-object editing process. If the end points are permitted to separate, actual separation is determined by the operator during the sub-object selection action and is based upon whether the point of selection is in the center third of the sub-object or the end third of the sub-object adjacent the vertex to be separated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of managing the relationship between intermingled objects of different types for editing purposes is presented, through establishing separate and combined modes of operation, when a separate mode is selected, only a selected object will be affected by an edit action.
Abstract: A method of managing the relationship between intermingled objects of different types for editing purposes. Management is through establishing separate and combined modes of operation. When a separate mode is selected, only a selected object will be affected by an edit action. When a combined mode is selected, selection of any object will result in all objects being affected by an edit action.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system for displaying edit location indicators to a user while the user is performing editing actions to create an electronic document design that is intended to undergo subsequent printing and processing to produce a printed product.
Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for providing an edit location indicator. The indicator is displayed to a user while the user is performing editing actions to create an electronic document design that is intended to undergo subsequent printing and processing to produce a printed product. The indicator has a number of individually modifiable sections, each indicator section corresponding to a physical section of the type of product being designed. When the user performs an electronic edit action, the section of the product corresponding to the location of the edit action is identified and the corresponding section of the indicator is modified to present to the user a visual indication of the section of the product affected by the edit action.

TL;DR: In this article, a desk-top publishing apparatus is arranged to perform a method of managing the relationship between intermingled objects of different types for editing purposes, through establishing separate and combined modes of operation.
Abstract: A desk-top publishing apparatus in which an operator enters and manipulates different types of data objects such as typed text and line drawings. The apparatus is arranged to perform a method of managing the relationship between intermingled objects of different types for editing purposes. Management is through establishing separate and combined modes of operation. When a separate mode is selected, only a selected object will be affected by an edit action. When a combined mode is selected, selection of any object will result in all objects being affected by an edit action.
