It stars Sara Botsford and Patty Duke Astin . Synopsis Angie Sara Botsford , and Helen Patty Duke Astin , are in love and they live and work together they design women s clothes and run their own fashion business in Vancouver . Helen wants to be a mother. Angie loves Helen and if Helen can t feel fulfilled without a child she is willing for them to become parents. Criticism The film was favourably reviewed by the critic Pauline Kael in The New Yorker a buoyant, quirky sex comedy..the director takes a look around the whole modern supermarket of sex. By Design takes in the bars and beach houses, fast food restaurants and discos, and the sexual patterns of those who inhabit them..Jutra has a light understated approach to farce. His sensibility suggests a mingling of Jacques Tati Tati and Fran ois Truffaut Truffaut ..The scenes are quick and they re dippy, but with a pensive, melancholy underlay. ref Pauline Kael reprinted in Taking It All In p.421 424 ref Patty Duke Astin received a Genie Award nomination for best foreign actress.

Unreferenced date June 2010 In computing , layout is the process of calculating the position of objects in space subject to various constraints. This functionality can be part of an Application software application or packaged as a reusable Component based software engineering component or Library computing library . Web browser engine s are sometimes called layout engines . Examples Page layout is the computation of the position of the paragraphs, sentences, words and letters of a text. This is done by desktop publishing software, typesetting software and web browser engine s. These in turn include font layout and rendering engines, that calculate the correct position of glyphs, which can be a challenge with complex scripts. Images can also be embedded in the text. Another form of layout is found in layout manager s. They are part of widget toolkit s and have the ability to automatically calculate a widget s position based on alignment constraints without the need for the programmer to specify absolute coordinates. Graph drawing software automatically determine the position of the vertexes and edges of a graph with various goals like minimization of the number of edge intersections, minimization of total area or production of an aesthetically pleasing result. This type of software is used for multiple purposes including visualization and as part of electronic design automation tools for the place and route step.
