Uniform Column Height Picture Layout Method

The patent changes the height parameter of containers from their originally calculated values to a unified target height. By calculating a height adjustment value for each container based on the difference between its original height and the target height, and then applying this adjustment uniformly across all containers, the system transforms unequal column heights into equal column heights, resolving the display regularity issue while maintaining the waterfall layout structure

The patent applies equipotentiality by making all columns reach the same height level (target height). By calculating the height adjustment needed for each column and applying it uniformly, all columns are brought to an equal height state, eliminating the height differences that cause irregular display effects, similar to how equipotential surfaces equalize potential energy across a system

The patent performs preliminary calculation of the target height and height adjustment values before actually rendering the containers. By pre-calculating how much each container's height needs to be adjusted and storing these adjustment values, the system avoids complex real-time calculations during rendering, thus reducing the actual layout complexity while achieving equal column heights

The patent segments the height adjustment process into independent calculations for each container. Instead of solving a complex system of equations for all containers simultaneously, it calculates the height adjustment for each container independently based on simple formulas involving the target height and original dimensions, thereby simplifying the overall calculation complexity
