Abstract

Methods and computer programs for automatically creating a text layout in an electronic design for a product to be printed. A number of defined text elements (101-1 11) are available for user text entries. The product layout is based a user-selected image (1101), if any, and on the text elements (101-111) having user-supplied text content. Text elements without text content are disregarded. Positioning of user text entries is determined based on the size of the text entries, defined text element spacing distances, and defined positioning rules. Creating a layout incorporating user-supplied text entries and/or image may include cropping or resizing of other design elements in the product design and wrapping of relatively long text entries onto multiple lines.
