GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR DETAIL-IN-CONTEXT PRESENTATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for generating a presentation of a region-of-interest within an original image for display on a display screen, comprising:
- generating an initial presentation by applying a lens to the original image, the lens having a focal region with a magnification for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region across which the magnification decreases to that of the original image;
receiving one or more signals to adjust the lens through a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) displayed over the region-of-interest in the initial presentation and having means for adjusting the magnification and an extent of the focal region;
adjusting the lens with the one or more signals and applying the adjusted lens to the original image to generate the presentation; and
, displaying the presentation on the display screen.

Abstract
A method for displaying a region of interest within visual information on a display screen of a computer, the region of interest including a focal region and a base region. The method includes the steps of: providing means for selecting at least one parameter for transforming at least one of the region of interest, the focal region, and the base region; selecting the parameter using the means for selecting; transforming the visual information in accordance with a predetermined distortion function and the parameter to produce transformed visual information; and, displaying the transformed visual information on the display screen.

22. A method for generating a presentation of a region-of-interest within an original image for display on a display screen, comprising:
-
generating an initial presentation by applying a lens to the original image to produce a distorted region at the region-of-interest within the original image, the lens having a focal region with a magnification for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region across which the magnification decreases to that of the original image;
receiving one or more signals to adjust the lens through a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) displayed over the distorted region in the initial presentation and having means for adjusting the magnification and an extent of the focal region;
adjusting the lens with the one or more signals and applying the adjusted lens to the original image to generate the presentation; and

23. A method for adjusting a presentation of a region-of-interest within an original image, comprising:
-
receiving one or more signals to adjust a lens for the region-of-interest through a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) displayed over the region-of-interest in the presentation;
wherein the presentation is generated by applying the lens to the original image, the lens having a focal region with a magnification for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region across which the magnification decreases to that of the original image; and
, wherein the GUI has means for adjusting the magnification and an extent of the focal region;
adjusting the lens with the one or more signals and applying the adjusted lens to the original image to generate an adjusted presentation; and
,displaying the adjusted presentation on a display screen.
