ABSTRACT:
A menu may be displayed combining a radial marking menu portion and a linear menu portion. Item selection in the linear portion is performed by location selection using a pointing device. Item selection in the marker portion is determined by the pattern of a stroke made by the pointing device with the system ignoring linear menu items across which the stoke completely passes. Linear menu items may be non-hierarchically related to the radial items. Linear and radial portions may be simultaneously produced on a display based on a single input event.
