  • Patent number: 11934638
    Abstract: A command display method includes a method of displaying a plurality of commands in a computer including a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the plurality of commands in a window on a display screen, the plurality of commands having a plurality of layers. The display method includes detecting the vertical or horizontal size of the window; determining the form of a display of each of the plurality of layers in response to the detected size; and controlling a display of the commands in each of the plurality of layers in response to the determined form and an instruction from an operator. At least one of the plurality of layers is controlled to be displayed as a detailed display in an area inside the window. The detailed display is a display of a layer that is at a lower level than the layer whose display form changes.
