<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display images by using a circular graphical user interface. <P>SOLUTION: The system and method provide visualization and layout schemes for the circular graphical user interface using a global and a local polar coordinate systems to display images. The system gives a user of the interface the full capability to relocate, re-orient, scale and layout images in the circular interface. Further, methods are provided to layout images in the Cartesian coordinate system, minimizing, overlapping and crowding of images, and supporting users' focus in a group setting for group collaboration around the interface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
