Abstract
The invention relates to a method for graphical presentation of objects and/or technical processes on a screen as well as to a system for implementing the method. In some cases different views may be frequently selected, and these views may be presented in different display windows. To edit the totality of views or subsequently look at them, a frequent change of view may be required. Such changes of view may be cumbersome and tedious and take time. To resolve this problem, the display area () is equipped with a least one element, () which can be activated by an input device (). Activating the element () expands or contracts the contents of the display area () by a graphical object (). In this way a frequent change of view is avoided, which provides ergonomic benefits to a user working with the graphics.
