Graphical user interface having an attached toolbar for drag and drop editing in detail-in-context lens presentations

Abstract

Detail-in-context techniques are described. In an implementation, an original image is distorted to produce a distorted region for a selected object at a first position in an original image displayed on a display screen. The distorted region magnifies at least a portion of the object. A signal is received to drag the object and the distorted region from the first position to a second position. A signal is received to drop the object at the second position. The distorted region is removed from the original image after the object is dropped at the second position.

1 . A method for dragging and dropping an object in an image, wherein the method comprises:
 distorting at least a portion of the image and at least a portion the object to produce a distorted region, wherein the distorted region magnifies at least a portion of the object;   receiving a drag signal to drag the object and the distorted region from a first position to a second position; and   receiving a drop signal to drop the object at the second position.
