摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide radial menus that allow users to quickly make selections of menu items using simple gestures. A radial menu may be displayed on a display screen in response to detecting a predefined screen pointer event such as a mouse click. Thereafter simple strokes using the screen pointer may be employed to select a desired item. The radial menus may be displayed on the display screen such that all radial menu items are visible thereon and there is sufficient space for making gestures for selecting radial menu items.
