Abstract

See full text

A method is described for improving the responsiveness and accuracy of a graphics system to user-initiated picking actions. In this method, the visual cueing and pick window positioning components of the graphics system tracking/picking function are temporarily separated at the time the user attempts to pick. By handling these two components of the tracking/picking function independently, both type 1 (failure to pick the desired item) and type 2 (picking an undesired item) errors are prevented. This translates into greater productivity for the graphics system user.
