<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for scaling, namely magnifying/ reducing the display size of a display widget on the basis of the proximity of a displayed selection pointer. SOLUTION: On a display screen, the display size of a graphical user interface(GUI) widget is magnified/reduced based on the distance between the GUI widget and a displayed selection pointer, such as an arrow pointer controlled by a mouse. As the selection pointer is moved toward or away from the widget, the widget changes size. This permits the widget to display additional information, such as icon text, as a user moves a selection pointer closer to the widget.</p> |
