Sizing a pane of a window presented on a display

Abstract

Sizing a pane of a window presented on a display. The window is presented to a user on the display. Within the window, the pane is presented at a first pane size. A user input is detected from the user resizing the window. Responsive to detecting the user input resizing the window, a new size of the window resulting from the user input resizing the window is detected. Data is accessed from a machine-readable storage device corresponding to at least one user-defined pane size previously defined by the user to whom the window is presented, wherein the user-defined pane size corresponds to a particular window size. Based on the accessed user-defined pane size(s), a second pane size of the pane at which the pane is to be presented in the newly sized window is determined. The pane is presented in the newly sized window at the second pane size.

         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein
 the data including a plurality of user-defined pane sizes and each of the plurality of user-defined pane sizes corresponding to a respective window size,   an equation that correlates pane size to window size is generated based upon the plurality of user-defined pane sizes and the respective window sizes, and   the second pane size is determined using the equation.   
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein
 the user-defined pane size previously defined by the user, the particular window size to which the user-defined pane size corresponds, and the determined second pane size each are, respectively, linear dimensions.   
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein
 the user-defined pane size previously defined by the user, the particular window size to which the user-defined pane size corresponds, and the determined second pane size each are, respectively, area values.   
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein
 upon a user input changing the pane from the first pane size to a new size, the new size is stored together with a current size of the window in the data store.
