Abstract

A method for manipulating notes on a screen of a computer display characterized by: (a) generating an initial note area; (b) dividing the initial note area into a plurality of note areas in response to at least one division gesture implemented by a pointing device, where each division gesture creates a header bar, including function buttons, on the computer display which visually separates two adjacent note areas; (c) modifying the size of a selected note area in response to a sizing gesture made to a header bar; and (d) scrolling in at least one note area in response to a scrolling command. Step (b) includes the steps of detecting a division gesture made on the computer screen by a pointing device, and then creating a header bar at a location indicated by the division gesture. Step (c) includes the steps of detecting the selection of a header bar with a pointing device, detecting a subsequent sizing gesture made by the pointing device, and moving the header bar as indicated by the sizing gesture. Step (d) includes the steps of detecting a scrolling command, and scrolling the note areas in a direction indicated by the scrolling command such that the note areas move in a quantized fashion.
