摘要:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for displaying information in a visual scheme in which the visual scheme is assigned to a control button contained within a graphical user interface and assigned to a set of information associated with said control button, and in which the set of information is displayed within the assigned visual scheme when the control button is selected and the set of information is hidden when the control button is deselected. The method and apparatus are direct to a multi-level scheme that allows a user to quickly visually parse data in a complex document as well as individually view or turn off specific parts of the data hierarchy giving the advantage of efficient document consumption and flexible viewing. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used in construing the claims.
