Collection Objects: Enabling Fluid Formation and Manipulation of Aggregate Selections
summary
A prototype vector editor implements selection-as-object as "Collection Objects": every selection becomes a manipulable card that stores shape and attribute filters, can be duplicated, flipped, nested, dragged to change scope, and deleted by dragging off-screen; creation uses touch hold plus pen strokes and attribute dragging in a pen+touch vector editor; tests involve six expert artists in an evaluation and report strong usefulness for grouping, attribute-based selection, and fluid group navigation, showing the concept works for chaining selection-action workflows.
