A method for translating an object within a GUI display. Another object, such as a cursor, is positioned ( 104 ) so as to be co-located ( 106 ) with the object; the object and cursor are then translated ( 110 ) along a path at least partially determined ( 108 ) by data associated with the cursor. Translation along the path ceases ( 114 ) when the relative position of the cursor and object changes ( 112 ); translation may continue along a different path if the cursor and object remain co-located. An example embodiment is a cursor icon which allows a user, by manipulating a pointing device, to navigate an entire GUI display area by navigating the smaller area of the cursor icon. |
