Abstract
A graphical user interface for use in connection with computer display systems such as computer controlled multi-media editing systems. The interface utilizes the components of color (e.g., hue, luminance and saturation) to convey information to a user. Each of these components are mapped to variables that are displayed via the interface. The value of a particular variable may be represented by a gradient of one of the color components or by a discrete value of one of the color components.
