US Patent 10319129 Snapping line generation

Techniques and systems are described for snapping line generation based on glyphs. Techniques include locating bounding box lines from bounding boxes of glyphs. The bounding box lines may then be analyzed to identify which of the bounding box lines are collinear and at least one snapping line is generated based on the collinearity of the bounding box lines. The generated snapping lines are then output in a user interface to facilitate snapping objects to the snapping line.
