The method according to the invention deals with controlling of graphical elements of a display having a plurality of pixels with one or more processors, the method including defining by said one or more processors a graphical main shape on the display representing a total volume of a root node, defining by said one or more processors within the graphical main shape a number of graphical node shapes on the display, the number of node shapes being at least one and each node shape representing a volume of a parent node, wherein the volumes of all parent nodes sum up to the total volume, controlling by said one or more processors the pixels of the graphical main shape to visually present the graphical main shape on the display, redefining the graphical node shapes in response to receiving an input signal from an input device indicating a selection of a parent node, indicating a manipulating of a volume of a selected node shape or indicating an opening of a particular parent node. |

1. A method of controlling graphical elements of a display having a plurality of pixels with one or more processors, the method including
defining by said one or more processors a graphical main shape on the display representing a total volume of a root node, defining by said one or more processors within the graphical main shape a number of graphical node shapes on the display, the number of node shapes being at least one and each node shape representing a volume of a parent node, wherein the volumes of all parent nodes sum up to the total volume, controlling by said one or more processors the pixels of the graphical main shape to visually present the graphical main shape on the display, controlling by said one or more processors the pixels of the graphical node shapes to visually present the graphical node shapes on the display, receiving by said one or more processors an input signal from an input device indicating a selection of a parent node, and in response to said receiving
determining by said one or more processors a possible range for the volume of the selected parent node by determining a minimum value and a maximum value of the range,defining by said one or more processors a graphical dialog shape on the display representing the possible range for the volume of the selected parent node,defining by said one or more processors a graphical shifter shape within the graphical dialog shape representing a current value of the volume of the selected parent node,controlling by said one or more processors the pixels of the graphical dialog shape to visually present the graphical dialog shape on the display andcontrolling by said one or more processors the pixels of the graphical shifter shape to visually present the graphical shifter shape on the display, receiving by said one or more processors a second input signal from an input device indicating manipulating of the graphical shifter shape with the input device, the manipulating defining a target volume of the selected parent node and in response to said manipulating
determining by said one or more processors a target volume for each parent node, wherein the target volumes of all parent nodes sum up to the total volume,redefining by said one or more processors the graphical node shapes to represent the target volumes of the parent nodes andcontrolling by said one or more processors the pixels of the graphical node shapes to visually present the redefined graphical node shapes on the display. |
