The selection grid has a bounding rectangle which represents the bounds of the display device and has a plurality of lines extending vertically and horizontally across the bounding rectangle. A user selects which line segments should be removed from the selection grid. A line segment is defined by the intersection points of the vertical and horizontal lines.
