Object-Oriented Drawing
summary
Replaces WIMP form widgets with Attribute Objects — attributes become movable, clonable, linkable UI objects that users drag onto shapes; implemented as a working drawing app with simultaneous touch and pen input that demonstrates attribute-level blending, copying by drag, linking fill colors so reflections follow a light, and independent attribute-level history (undo/rollback of a single attribute without undoing later edits). Expert assessment finds direct manipulation makes previously tedious edits fast and several demoed interactions work reliably.
