Abstract
The embodiments described herein relate to an improved technique for integrating zoom, pan and select functions for a user input device in a data processing system. The described novel selection pattern allows for relying on user input device actions and a context menu to integrate multiple functions for a user input device to reduce significantly the travel required for the user input device. In one embodiment, the systems and methods integrate zoom, pan and select functions for a user input device that are applicable to many different data processing device types and sizes.
