A graphical input and display system for creating and manipulating electronic
images
includes input devices permitting a user to manipulate elements of electronic images
received from various image input sources. A processor, connected to the system,
receives requests for various image editing operations and also accesses a memory
structure. The system memory structure includes a user interaction module, which
allows a user to enter new image material or select and modify existing image material
to form primary image objects, as well as a grouping module, which maintains an
unrestricted grouping structure, an output module, and data memory.
