Abstract
A data processing system provides a desk view which serves as a graphical user interface to the system. The desk view displays detailed miniaturized images of all documents possessed by the user. The compressed document images are user stackable and are automatically stacked when the images overlap by a predefined amount. The predefined amount is user settable. The desk view also displays icons of operations for mailing, stapling, copying and printing of documents. User activation of these operations occurs upon the removal of a stylus end from a surface after the electronic stylus has positioned a document image and icon relative to each other. Some operations include a screen view enabling user establishment of parametes of the operation after activation. Some icons are displayed with automatic uncovering when a stamp is positioned over it.
