1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a first input as selecting an object displayed by a display device;
recognizing a second input as movement at least twice across one or more boundaries of the object, the movement recognized as occurring while the object is selected; and
identifying a cut gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the cut gesture effective to cause a display the object to appear as cut along the movement of the second input across the display of the object.

Abstract
Techniques involving gestures and other functionality are described. In one or more implementations, the techniques describe gestures that are usable to provide inputs to a computing device. A variety of different gestures are contemplated, including bimodal gestures (e.g., using more than one type of input) and single modal gestures. Additionally, the gesture techniques may be configured to leverage these different input types to increase the amount of gestures that are made available to initiate operations of a computing device.

9. A method comprising:
-
recognizing a first input as selecting an object displayed by a display device; recognizing a second input as approximating self-intersecting movement within the object; and identifying a punch-out gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the punch-out gesture effective to cause a display of the object to appear as if the self-intersecting movement caused a hole in the object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
recognizing a first input as selecting a first point of an object displayed by a display device; recognizing a second input as selecting a second point of the object; recognizing movement of the first and second inputs away from each other; and identifying a rip gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the rip gesture effective to cause a display of the object to appear as ripped between the first and second points. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
