Abstract
A multi-view panning system and method links a plurality of virtual desktops into one larger desktop that may be navigated through the use of a position indicator over multiple display devices. The system and method facilitates multiple view panning by a user. In one embodiment, a separate panning rectangle is defined for each display device and a separate viewing area is associated with each panning rectangle. A common multi-display surface is defined to bound all pan locking rectangles associated with each display device of interest. Movement of a position indicator across at least one boundary of one pan locking rectangle causes the position indicator to control which data is contained in the second rectangular view on the second display to facilitate multi-view panning in a common surface, such as a desktop surface, over multiple displays.
