Abstract
A system renders a graphical user interface to allow editing of graphics within a work area. The system receives a start input to define a start of the work area at a start location of a pointing device on the graphical user interface. The system receives a motion input that alters a location of the pointing device on the graphical user interface from the start location to an end location. The system receives an end input to define an end of the work area at the end location of the pointing device defined upon receipt of the end input, and creates the work area in which graphics may be edited between the start location and the end location of the pointing device on the graphical user interface. The work area defines a graphics editing region confined between the start input and the end input.
