Setting a parameter

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing thereon a widget comprising code for performing a computer-implemented method of setting a parameter comprising:

• detecting a first user input on a first location on a graphical user interface generated by processing circuitry of the computer;
• controlling, by the processing circuitry, display, on the graphical user interface, of a pie menu centered on the first location, the pie menu being a ring-shaped object having a center which is the center of the pie menu, the pie menu comprising at least two angular sectors that are adjacent to each other and that are each associated with a respective customizable parameter, wherein an angular sector is a zone that is comprised between two half-lines sharing a common endpoint that is the center of the pie menu;
• detecting a second user input on a second location on the graphical user interface in at least one angular sector of the at least two angular sectors, the second user input being maintained;
• controlling, by the processing circuitry, activation of the at least one angular sector after detecting the second user input, the activation of the at least one angular sector beginning at the time of the detection of the second user input, the at least one angular sector remaining continuously activated from the time of the detection of the second user input and while the second user input is maintained, other angular sectors being ignored while the second user input is maintained by the user;
• and
• while the second user input is maintained, the at least one angular sector being thereby activated, the other angular sectors being thereby ignored detecting selection, among a set of values, of a value of the respective customizable parameter of the at least one angular sector by detecting displacement of the second user input from the second location to a third location, wherein the third location can be in an angular sector which is not activated, wherein the displacement from the second location to the third location is substantially perpendicular to a bisection of the activated at least one angular sector, wherein, while the at least one angular sector is activated, only the value of the respective customizable parameter of the at least one activated angular sector can be selected, wherein values of the respective customizable parameters of all the ignored other angular sectors cannot be selected while the at least one angular sector is activated and while the other angular sectors are ignored.

A system comprising processing circuitry of a computer communicatively coupled to a memory and a display, the memory having recorded thereon instructions causing the processing circuitry to be configured to

• detect a first user input on a first location on a graphical user interface generated by the processing circuitry of the computer,
• control, by the processing circuitry, display, on the graphical user interface, of a pie menu centered on the first location, the pie menu being a ring-shaped object having a center which is the center of the pie menu, the pie menu comprising at least two angular sectors that are adjacent to each other and that are each associated with a respective customizable parameter, wherein an angular sector is a zone that is comprised between two half-lines sharing a common endpoint that is the center of the pie menu,
• detect a second user input on a second location on the graphical user interface in at least one angular sector of the at least two angular sectors, the second user input being maintained,
• control, by the processing circuitry, activation of the at least one angular sector after detecting the second user input, the activation of the at least one anular sector beeinnine at the time of the detection of the second user input the at least one angular sector remaining continuously activated from the time of the detection of the second user input and while the second user input is maintained, other angular sectors being ignored while the second user input is maintained by the user, and
• while the second user input is maintained, the at least one angular sector being thereby activated, the other angular sectors being thereby ignored, detect selection, among a set of values, of a value of the respective customizable parameter of the at least one angular sector by detecting displacement of the second user input from the second location to a third location, wherein the third location can be in an angular sector which is not activated, wherein the displacement from the second location to the third location is substantially perpendicular to a bisection of the activated at least one angular sector, wherein, while the at least one angular sector is activated, only the value of the respective customizable parameter of the at least one activated angular sector can be selected, wherein values of the respective customizable parameters of all the ignored other angular sectors cannot be selected while the at least one angular sector is activated and while the other angular sectors are ignored.
