Abstract
For altering a display perspective to avoid scrolling, a first dimension of a layout of a content is determined to exceed a first dimension of a display area by a first difference. A first angle of inclination is computed using the first dimension of the layout and the first dimension of the display area. An inclined layout is displayed by inclining the layout on an imaginary plane. A three-dimensional perspective of the imaginary plane is displayed at the first angle of inclination relative to a plane of the display area. The inclined layout displays the first dimension of the layout completely in the first dimension of the display area thereby avoiding using a scrolling function despite the first difference. The content of the layout remains capable of a manipulation in the inclined layout according to a permission for the manipulation in the layout from a source.

13. A computer readable article of manufacture embodying computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a computer to carry out steps of a method for altering a display perspective to avoid scrolling, the method comprising:
-
determining, using a processor and a memory at a data processing system, that a first dimension of a layout of a content exceeds a first dimension of a display area by a first difference; computing a first angle of inclination using the first dimension of the layout and the first dimension of the display area; and displaying an inclined layout by inclining the layout on an imaginary plane, a three-dimensional perspective of the imaginary plane being at the first angle of inclination relative to a plane of the display area, wherein the inclined layout displays the first dimension of the layout completely in the first dimension of the display area, thereby avoiding use of a scrolling function despite the first difference, and wherein the content of the layout remains capable of a manipulation in the inclined layout according to a permission for the manipulation in the layout from a source. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A data processing system for altering a display perspective to avoid scrolling, the data processing system comprising:
-
a storage device including a storage medium, wherein the storage device stores computer usable program code; and a processor, wherein the processor executes the computer usable program code, and wherein the computer usable program code when executed causes the data processing system to carry out steps of a method, the method comprising; determining, using a processor and a memory at a data processing system, that a first dimension of a layout of a content exceeds a first dimension of a display area by a first difference; computing a first angle of inclination using the first dimension of the layout and the first dimension of the display area; and displaying an inclined layout by inclining the layout on an imaginary plane, a three-dimensional perspective of the imaginary plane being at the first angle of inclination relative to a plane of the display area, wherein the inclined layout displays the first dimension of the layout completely in the first dimension of the display area, thereby avoiding use of a scrolling function despite the first difference, and wherein the content of the layout remains capable of a manipulation in the inclined layout according to a permission for the manipulation in the layout from a source.
