摘要:
Methods and systems for displaying data items, such as graphical icons, in association with objects containing information relative to such data items, are disclosed. In general, at least one object can be associated with a data item, wherein the object contains information relevant to the data item. A compacted view of the data item can be displayed in a location of a display screen proximate to the object, wherein a selection of the object invokes a display of information relevant to the data item. A display of information relevant to the data item can then be displayed in response to dragging a graphically displayed cursor across the object displayed on the display screen. Information relevant to the data item can be displayed in a form of a graphical pop-up window, which when selected by a user activates an additional graphical window comprising further information relevant to the data item.
