ABSTRACT:
An editing application may allow a user to change a literal property value of an object in a conventional manner. The functionality of the editing application may be expanded to allow a user to access non-literal values for property values, by allowing the user to define a calculation based on one or more sources. To indicate that an associated property value of an object is a non-literal value, a non-literal cue may be presented to the user, such as through the display of the object, the associated property indicator, and/or the associated property value. To reduce the learning curve of the expanded functionality, the user interface for literal values of a property may remain minimally impacted, while, alternative gestures associated with the object, property indicator, and/or property value may be used to allow access to the non-literal value controls or information.
