Hiding Portions of Display Content

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• outputting multi-dimensional graphical information for display in a touch screen;
• receiving, from a user, a two point touch input that comprises the user concurrently (a) touching a first location and a second location on the touch screen and (b) while continuing to touch the touch screen, executing a movement to shorten a distance between the first location and the second location that is defined by a new first location and a new second location, wherein the two point touch input comprises a pair of finger contacts on the touch screen;
• determining, based on the executed movement, that the two point touch input is directed to compressing particular graphical information displayed between first location and the second location;
• and
• in response to the determination that the executed movement of the two point touch input is directed to compressing the particular graphical information, dynamically modifying the multi-dimensional graphical information to hide the particular graphical information from view;
• and
• outputting, for display outside an area of the multi-dimensional graphical information, a text box that indicates content of the particular graphical information.

A computer-implemented system for generating information, comprising:

• a computing device;
• an interface running on the computing device to receive requests for content;
• a database storing information about content;
• and
• a content generator configured to produce a representation, in a touch screen on the computing device, of a page having (a) a folded area at a location, the folded area corresponding to hidden content including visible graphical fold marks that are graphically depicted as a portion of content hidden within, a folded portion, and (b) a text box that indicates information about the hidden content;
• wherein the location of the folded area is determined based on a received two point touch user input that comprises a user concurrently (a) touching a first location and a second location on the touch screen and (b) while continuing to touch the touch screen, executing a movement to shorten a distance between the first location and the second location that is defined by a new first location and a new second location, wherein the two point touch input comprises a pair of finger contacts on the touch screen,
• wherein the location of the folded area is dynamically modified such that content in the folded area is hidden from view.

A computer-readable device having instructions encoded thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• outputting multi-dimensional graphical information for display in a touch screen;
• receiving, from a user, a two point touch input that comprises the user concurrently (a) touching a first location and a second location on the touch screen and (b) while continuing to touch the touch screen, executing a movement to shorten a distance between the first location and the second location that is defined by a new first location and a new second location, wherein the two point touch input comprises a pair of finger contacts on the touch screen;
• determining, based on the executed movement, that the two point touch input is directed to compressing particular graphical information displayed between first location and the second location;
• and
• in response to the determination that the executed movement of the two point touch input is directed to compressing the particular graphical information, dynamically modifying the multi-dimensional graphical information to hide the particular graphical information from view;
• and
• outputting, for display outside an area of the multi-dimensional graphical information, a text box that indicates content of the particular graphical information.
