Title:	A constraint-based 2-dimensional object display system
Author:	Lee, Sungkoo
Description:	This thesis will discuss a system for automatic layout and display of 2-D objects. Our goal is to be able to display data of executing programs. We want the system to be usable with common higher-order languages such as C, and to require no modification of the source program. We give the textual descriptions of the special objects with some rules or constraints and we derive several layout algorithms from the textual descriptions for how they should be displayed on the screen. Constraints are a useful tool to represent the relations that must be maintained between objects. They can be used to specify relations between objects, to maintain consistency between user program data structures and graphical depiction of objects, and to specify layout. This system can be used to quickly create visual displays of information in a program, and can be applied to a visual debugger or some graphical drawing system, and has been implemented on a Unix systems in Prolog and C languages.
