Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying data on a computer display system. More specifically, with this invention location information of data from an application program is converted to location information for displaying data within a number of contours on a display device. With this invention display data for a logical display area on a first contour is converted to display data for a plurality of contours, where each of the later contours is a logical section of the former contour. More importantly, this conversion is transparent to the application program. The second display data is then displayed on the display device of the computer system.
