The present invention relates to schema-driven object alignment on a canvas. In particular, it relates to the use of alignment guides to enable a user to align objects on a canvas.
Digital canvasses may be used to display graphical representations of charts to users. Digital canvasses may include objects or shapes displayed at different locations on the canvas to provide the graphical representation to the user. The user is typically enabled to rearrange objects on the digital canvas to change the graphical representation to be more to their liking. It is known that alignment guides may be used to help align the objects on a digital canvas based on conceptual horizontal or vertical grid lines of the canvas.
