<p>A system and method are provided for annotating data displayed on a display device. The system includes a processing unit for processing data and providing the processed data to the display device for displaying a portion thereof, and further generating a cursor for display by the display device and accessing a data set including a plurality of labels. The system further includes a user input device for transmitting a series of user request signals to the processing unit upon manipulation of the user input device with a user's hand, and a switch in proximity to the user input device for transmitting mode selection signals to the processing unit for selecting one of a cursor movement mode and an annotation mode. The switch is located sufficiently proximate the user input device for being selectively switched by the user's hand during manipulation of the user input device. When the cursor movement mode is selected, the series of user request signals control movement of the cursor on the display. When the annotation mode is selected, the series of user request signals control selection of a label of the plurality of labels for display at approximately the current cursor location for annotating the displayed data.</p> |
