Semantic zoom techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are described that may be utilized by a user to navigate to content of interest. These techniques may also include a variety of different features, such as to support semantic swaps and zooming 'in' and “out.” These techniques may also include a variety of different input features, such as to support gestures, cursor-control device, and keyboard inputs. A variety of other features are also supported as further described in the detailed description and figures.

Various embodiments provide self-revealing gestures that are designed to provide an indication of how to perform one or more different gestures. In at least one embodiment, an initiation gesture is received, relative to an object. The initiation gesture is configured to cause presentation of a visualization designed to provide an indication of how to perform a different gesture. Responsive to receiving the initiation gesture, the visualization is presented without causing performance of an operation associated with the different gesture.

Self-revealing gesture

A graphical user interface for a computer includes a dial control. The control can be implemented, for example, as a touch-based, pointer-based, pen-based and/or keyboard-based mechanism. The dial control is intended for manipulating a large range of values, such as a menu of items from which a user makes a selection, or a range of continuous or discrete values. A dial control can replace other control types such as a slider, drop down menu or text field. The graphical elements of the dial control include one or more displayed rings and a handle for each ring. Inside the ring, or in another area adjacent the ring, a value can be displayed. The ring can be manipulated by the user to change the value selected by the dial control. In the case of multiple rings, each ring can be manipulated independently.

Graphical user interface with dial control for a parameter

In some examples, a stylus may be used to make a first input including a first shape at a first location on a display. The first location may correspond to a location of a graphic element presented on the display, and a mark consistent with the shape may be presented on the display, such as overlying the graphic element. Additionally, the stylus may be used to make a second input including a second shape. For example, the second shape may correspond to a command for performing an operation. In response, to the entry of the first shape and the second shape, the operation may be performed on or with respect to the graphic element. In some instances, various different shapes and combinations of shapes may be mapped to various different operations, designations, destinations, and so forth.
