ABSTRACT:
A method, system and program for transforming one or more icons in an object-oriented, graphical environment. The icon transformations entail the changing of an icon from one state to another using drag and drop techniques. The user drops an input object icon onto the transformer object icon. The transformer object removes the input object from the graphical environment, changes its contents and/or attributes, and places the new output icon on the desktop. Icon transformers convert objects in a one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many fashion.
