A framework for individually controlling the layout of display elements provides management of the layout automatically via pluggable policies. Control modules are dedicated to controlling the format of respective display elements. The control modules are organized into an ancestral hierarchy tree structure. Each parent control module specifies a policy object that manages the layout of its children, and provides measurement information to ancestor control modules. When an aspect of a control module changes that will affect its layout, it makes a single call which causes the framework to utilize the relevant layout managers to layout any affected control modules.

Image control involves receiving source images defined with respect to respective source coordinate systems from source image generators also respectively associated with source IDs. The source images are composed to generate a composite image defined with respect to a composed coordinate system, and the composed image is sent to a viewer which displays the composed image and outputs an HID signal which indicates information defined with respect to the composed coordinate system. A layout manager stores source IDs respectively associated with layout information including position and size of at least one of the source images. An image composer composes the source images according to the layout information.
