1. A method for displaying information via a display mounted in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- generating, by a user-interface device, graphics data adapted to control the display to display a graphical object in which a display content is shown at a specific scale;
selecting a pixel of the display with the aid of an input device;
drawing a line on the display starting from the pixel;
altering the scale of the display content as a function of a length of the line, the degree of altering proportional to a value the length of the line; and
showing the display content included in an original scale of the graphical object in graphically contrasting manner during the drawing of the line;
wherein the altering includes reducing the scale of the display content in real time during the drawing of the line, a degree of the reduction corresponding to the length of the line, and enlarging the scale of the display content after the line is completed.

Abstract
In a method for displaying information with the aid of a display mounted in a motor vehicle, a user-interface device generates graphics data that control the display such that a graphical object is displayed in which a display content is shown in a specific scale, and one pixel of the display is selected with the aid of an input device, and a line is drawn on the display starting from this pixel. The scale of the display content is altered as a function of the length of the line. A display device for a motor vehicle can implement the method.

8. A display device for a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a display mounted in the motor vehicle; an input device adapted to select a pixel of the display and to draw a line on the display starting from the pixel; and a user-interface device adapted to generate graphics data to control at least one partial area of the display to display a graphical object in which a display content is shown in a specific scale, to show the display content included in an original scale of the graphical object in graphically contrasting manner during the drawing of the line; wherein the user-interface device is adapted to alter the scale of the display content as a function of a length of the line, the degree of altering proportional to the length of the line, the altering including reducing the scale of the display content in real time during the drawing of the line, a degree of the reduction corresponding to the length of the line, and enlarging the scale of the display content after the line is completed. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
