Abstract
A graphical user interface controlling application executing in a computational device performs operations in which in response to displaying images of a first plurality of elements rendered in a first size surrounded by images of a second plurality of elements rendered in a second size that is smaller than the first size, a request to zoom in is received. In response to receiving the request to zoom in, one or more images are erased, and images of the second plurality of elements rendered in the first size are displayed.

A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor performs operations, the operations comprising:
- in response to displaying images of a first plurality of elements rendered in a first size surrounded by images of a second plurality of elements rendered in a second size that is smaller than the first size, receiving a request to zoom in;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to zoom in, erasing one or more images, and displaying images of the second plurality of elements rendered in the first size.
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to perform operations on a processor, the operations comprising:
- in response to displaying images of a first plurality of elements rendered in a first size surrounded by images of a second plurality of elements rendered in a second size that is smaller than the first size, receiving a request to zoom in;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to zoom in, erasing one or more images, and displaying images of the second plurality of elements rendered in the first size.
