Abstract
A spin control graphical user interface is used to display a currently applied option and to receive options from a user. The spin control is a circular graphical user interface that is positioned near a displayed document to which it applies. For example, the spin control may be positioned on or near a corner of the displayed document. The spin control comprises options that are presented to a user upon rotation of the spin control. An option may be manually selected or automatically selected and applied to the displayed document upon rotating the spin control clockwise or counterclockwise. More than one spin control may be associated with the displayed document. The spin control may be automatically shown and removed from a display in response to whether the document to which the spin control is attached is currently being displayed.
