METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESIZING A DISPLAY WINDOW ALONG A DIMENSION
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for adjusting a display window, the computer implemented method comprising:
- displaying the display window on a desktop, the display window having a first boundary, a second boundary opposite the first boundary, a third boundary about perpendicular to the first boundary, and a fourth boundary opposite the third boundary;
receiving a resize command to resize the display window; and
responsive to receiving the resize command, moving the first boundary with respect to a first window limit and moving the second boundary with respect to a second window limit, wherein the distance between the third boundary and the fourth boundary remains fixed.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer usable program to adjust a display window along a dimension. The method includes displaying a display window on a desktop, the display window having a first boundary, a second boundary opposite the first boundary, a third boundary about perpendicular to the first boundary, and a fourth boundary opposite the third boundary. The method further includes receiving a resize command to resize the display window. Finally, the method includes, responsive to receiving the resize command, moving the first boundary with respect to a first window limit and moving the second boundary with respect to a second window limit. The distance between the third boundary and the fourth boundary remains fixed.
