发明名称 Manipulating Parameters
摘要 Positioning of a cursor over a component in a system schematic displayed on a graphical user interface is detected and the component is highlighted. Selection of the component is detected and a translucent heads up display (“HUD”) is drawn over the highlighted component. A portion of the highlighted component under the HUD is un-highlighted. Positioning of the cursor over a HUD parameter-adjustment control is detected and the HUD parameter-adjustment control is highlighted. Selection of the HUD parameter-adjustment control is detected and a HUD display of an original value of the parameter for the component is replaced with a display of an adjusted value computed by adjusting the original value by the amount associated with the selected HUD adjustment button. Positioning of the cursor away from the component is detected and the drawing of the HUD is removed and the component is un-highlighted.

主权项 1. A method comprising: detecting positioning of a cursor over a component in a system schematic displayed on a graphical user interface and, as a result, highlighting the component; detecting selection of the component and, as a result, drawing a translucent heads up display (“HUD”) over the highlighted component, wherein the HUD comprises: a display of a parameter associated with the component,a display of an original value for the parameter, anda plurality of parameter-adjustment controls, wherein each parameter-adjustment control has associated with it an amount to adjust the value of the parameter; un-highlighting a portion of the highlighted component, wherein the un-highlighted portion is under the HUD; detecting positioning of the cursor over a HUD parameter-adjustment control and, as a result, highlighting the HUD parameter-adjustment control; detecting selection of the HUD parameter-adjustment control and, as a result, replacing the display of the original value of the parameter for the component with a display of an adjusted value computed by adjusting the original value by the amount associated with the selected HUD adjustment button; and detecting positioning of the cursor away from the component and, as a result, removing the drawing of the HUD and un-highlighting the component.
