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.
