Abstract
A method and structure for a graphic user interface comprising a non-linear path region that corresponds to a list of items in a computer application, wherein a length of the path region is directly proportional to an amount of items in the list, a rotatable handle region that corresponds to a subset of the items in the list, a display region that displays the subset, and a handle manipulator for maneuvering the handle region, wherein the non-linear path region comprises a spiral, square, or rectangular configuration, wherein each of the items in the list is represented by a fixed proportion of the path region, wherein the handle region is proportional to a fixed proportion of the path region, and wherein the fixed proportion is a fixed angle.
