Abstract
Detail-in-context techniques are described. In an implementation, an original image is distorted to produce a distorted region for a selected object at a first position in an original image displayed on a display screen. The distorted region magnifies at least a portion of the object. A signal is received to drag the object and the distorted region from the first position to a second position. A signal is received to drop the object at the second position. The distorted region is removed from the original image after the object is dropped at the second position.
Claims33
A method comprising:
- distorting an original image to produce a distorted region for a selected object at a first position in an original image displayed on a display screen, said distorted region magnifying at least a portion of said object;
- receiving a signal to drag said object and said distorted region from said first position to a second position;
- receiving a signal to drop said object at said second position;
- and
- removing said distorted region from said original image after said object is dropped at the second position.
A method comprising:
- displaying a toolbar, over a region-of-interest within visual information on a display screen of a computer, to select at least one parameter to adjust a distortion function for said region-of-interest, said distortion function having a focal region to magnify said region-of-interest;
- receiving a signal for selecting at least one parameter through said toolbar;
- transforming said original image with said distortion function as adjusted by said at least one parameter to produce said presentation;
- and
- displaying said presentation on said display screen.
