1. An apparatus comprising instructions stored on machine readable media, wherein the instructions cause the machine to permit an operator to edit data based upon relative times associated with that data, the instructions controlling the machine to:

  • associate the data with a first graphics display window;

    accept inputs from the operator defining relative time parameters;

    select a subset of the data based upon inputs from the operator;

    separate the subset of data from the data, to leave remaining data; and

    display the remaining data (without the subset of data) in the first graphics display window;

    wherein the subset of data in the first graphics window may be removed from the remaining data based upon associated relative times, notwithstanding any spatial overlap in spatial coordinates between the subset of data and the remaining data when displayed.
