Abstract
A technique, system, and computer program for quickly and efficiently selecting or deselecting a spatially-related group of objects using a single selection or deselection operation, while preserving the ability to select or deselect individual items within a group or subgroup. A new set of graphical control objects is defined, any of which will graphically indicate the members of the group with which it is associated without requiring a textual explanation. Alternatively, a control object such as a slider bar may be used, where the technique of controlling the selection status of the group is defined for the slider bar in a novel manner.
