ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus and display for controlling defining and automatically executing a sequence of commands of a tool shelf. The user places (drags and drops) desktop icons from a tool box into a sequence tool shelf in an order in which the commands are to be executed. A directed list of the commands created during the placement of the icons in the sequence shelf, along with a current command pointer, is used to automatically control the execution of the commands in the order specified by the user. The execution can be performed without user input to indicate that the next command in the sequence should be executed or the user can control next command execution using a selection tool such as a marking menu. The icons of the commands are highlighted as the commands are executed to provide the user visual feed back concerning which command is currently being executed.
