Semantic zoom-based navigation of displayed content

A computer-readable storage device, not including any waves or signals, storing computer-executable instructions for navigating content, comprising:

• displaying a current view of spreadsheet data associated with a sheet of a workbook;
• receiving a first gesture to change the current view;
• changing the current view to a thumbnail view of the spreadsheet data that displays a thumbnail for each sheet of the workbook when the first gesture is a zoom instruction that moves the zoom level below a predetermined zoom threshold that indicates to display the thumbnail view of the spreadsheet data;
• changing the current view of the spreadsheet data to an object view that displays a graphical representation of an object associated with the current view of spreadsheet data when the first gesture is a zoom instruction that indicates to display the object;
• displaying a graphical object generated from the spreadsheet data, the graphical object including a plurality of sections;
• receiving a second gesture;
• determining whether the second gesture corresponds to a first command or a second command, the second command being distinct from the first command, wherein the first command corresponds to a gesture performed on the displayed graphical object, and wherein the second command corresponds to a gesture performed adjacent to, but not within the displayed graphical object;
• when the second gesture is performed on the displayed graphical object, determining which of the plurality of sections received the second gesture and replacing the display of the graphical object with a display of a respective portion of the spreadsheet data from which the section that received the second gesture was generated;
• and
• when the second gesture is performed adjacent to, but not within the displayed graphical object, replacing the display of the graphical object with a display of the spreadsheet data used to generate all of the plurality of sections of the graphical object.

A method for navigating content comprising:

• displaying at least one thumbnail view of spreadsheet data associated with a workbook including one or more sheets, wherein each of the at least one thumbnail view represents a different sheet within the workbook;
• receiving a first gesture,
• when the first gesture is a stretch gesture, increasing the number of thumbnails viewable;
• when the first gesture is a pinch gesture, decreasing the number of thumbnails viewable;
• displaying a graphical object generated from spreadsheet data of a spreadsheet application, the graphical object including a plurality of sections;
• receiving a second gesture;
• determining whether the second gesture corresponds to a first command or a second command, the second command being distinct from the first command, wherein the first command corresponds to a gesture performed on the displayed graphical object, and wherein the second command corresponds to a gesture performed adjacent to, but not within the displayed graphical object;
• when the second gesture is performed on the displayed graphical object, determining which of the plurality of sections received the first gesture and replacing the display of the graphical object with a display of the respective portion of the spreadsheet data from which the section that received the first gesture was generated;
• and
• when the second gesture is performed adjacent to, but not within the displayed graphical object, replacing the display of the graphical object with a display of the spreadsheet data used to generate all of the plurality of sections of the graphical object.
