A views management system has a computer display (14) which provides a hideable view bar having pane splitting controls (42,46,48) and a list of open views (44). Through selection of specific ones of the pane splitting controls (42,46,48), a system user can configure the display (14) to show any number and arrangement of tiled views. By simply selecting one of the open views in the list (44) appearing in the view bar, the user can assign that view to the pane currently having focus. The contents of pairs of panes can easily be swapped by a click-drag-drop operation sequence using a cursor- controlling pointing device (32). |
