Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed that provide a computing user with an ability to engage in a multitude of operations via the entry of gestures. Computer operations may be mapped to shapes, and a comparison may take place between a user-entered gesture and the shapes to determine whether the gesture approximates at least one of the shapes. Responsive to determining that the gesture approximates at least one of the shapes, an operation associated with the shape may be executed. The operation may include a zoom operation (e.g., a zoom-in or a zoom-out operation), wherein the dimensions of the gesture may influence content to be included in an updated display. Additional adjustments may be performed to improve a resolution associated with the content included in the updated display.
