Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes providing for display to a user content including multiple content objects that each has a boundary defining a two-dimensional area. A two-dimensional scroll region for user scrolling within the content is determined. The two-dimensional scroll region is independent of the two-dimensional areas of the content objects. User input to scroll within the content in one or both of the two dimensions across one or more of the boundaries is received. The method includes scrolling within the content according to the user input, the scrolling being continuous across the boundaries.
