Abstract
Selection of visualization objects, such as icons, is represented by a flowing selection boundary. The region enclosed by the selection boundary can include a display properly, e.g., color and/or texture. The display property may be adjusted in response to an identified event, e.g., the presence of a cursor or a pending and/or active operation.
