Abstract

In comic book conventions, the size of a panel is generally proportional to the amount of narrative time that passes or the amount of time a reader spends viewing the panel. This poster paper describes work in progress to develop an automated system to assist in generating comic book panel layouts from a given sequence of panel artwork, the desired narrative duration of each panel, desired reading order, and a user-provided library of preferred page layout style guidelines.
