ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for managing and displaying a plurality of views of information in a graphical user interface, with views grouped together to form a stack upon which operations that jointly manipulate the views may be performed. A viewclip mechanism is associated with a stack to provide one or more mechanisms for performing actions on the stack such as shuffling forward and backward through views, directly accessing specific views, and unlocking a stack to permit views to be added or removed from the stack. The stack is represented as a single frame which displays one of the views at a time as its contents. Frame manipulation mechanisms, e.g., minimizing, maximizing, resizing, and repositioning, may be applied to the frame to jointly manipulate display characteristics of the plurality of views in the stack.
