  • Compressed object display
    Patent number: 5953017
    Abstract: A display-object manager that manages a display of object identifiers on a display screen. The object identifiers are organized in a tree structure, and represent objects. The display-object manager displays the object identifiers and then selects a subset of the object identifiers to compress. All members of the subset are siblings in the tree structure, and their parent has additional children that are not in the subset. The display-object manager replaces the display of the subset with a new identifier that represents the subset.
