1. A method comprising:
scaling a constraint to obtain a scaled constraint, wherein said constraint affects a formatted object that is to be obtained from an object, which comprises a plurality of elements, by formatting;
scaling at least one of said elements to obtain a scaled element;
generating a layout structure for said plurality of elements including said scaled element under consideration of said scaled constraint; and
scaling said layout structure to obtain said formatted object, wherein a scaling factor representing said scaling of said constraint is greater than a reciprocal of a scaling factor representing said scaling of said layout structure.
