摘要: Program code is executed in a data processing system in order to display a plurality of items so that each of the items is displayed as a different layer with respect to each of the other items and so that at least portions of items in lower layers are obscured by items in upper layers. Items may be, for example, icons, tool bars, directories, documents, notes, and/or the like. Program code is also executed in the data processing system in order to select an item so that each of the other items, which is displayed in a layer above the selected item and which would otherwise obscure the selected item, is cut out in order to expose at least a portion of the selected item and so as to reveal an otherwise obscured portion of an item which is layered below the selected item. A cut-out border may be provided around the selected item so that an item layered below the selected item is revealed.
摘要翻译: 在数据处理系统中执行程序代码以显示多个项目,使得每个项目相对于每个其他项目显示为不同的层,并且使得下层中的项目的至少部分被遮蔽 通过上层的项目。 项目可以是例如图标,工具栏,目录,文档,笔记和/或类似物。 程序代码也在数据处理系统中执行,以便选择一个项目,以便切出显示在选定项目之上的层中并且否则将模糊所选择的项目的其他项目中的每个项目,以便公开 所选择的项目的至少一部分,并且显示层叠在所选项目之下的项目的另外被遮蔽的部分。 可以在所选项目周围提供切出边界,使得在所选项目下方分层的项目被显露。
