  One of the most common ways to represent and share visual designs is with
vector graphics. Designers working with vector graphics often explore layout
alternatives and generate them by moving and resizing elements. The motivation
for this can range from establishing a different visual flow, adapting a design
to a different aspect ratio, standardizing spacing, or redirecting the design's
visual emphasis. Existing designs can serve as a source of inspiration for
layout modification across these goals. However, generating these layout
alternatives still requires significant manual effort in rearranging large
groups of elements. We present VLT, short for Vector Layout Transfer, a novel
graphic design tool that enables flexible transfer of layouts between designs.
It provides designers with multiple levels of semantic layout editing controls,
powered by automatic graphics correspondence and layout optimization
algorithms.
