ABSTRACT:
A data processing system for efficiently manipulating a graphic object displayed within a graphic user interface in the data processing system. The graphic object is defined by interrelated variables. Under the present invention, interrelated variables defining the graphic object are associated with at least one data structure, wherein the each data structure includes a value for at least one of the interrelated variables. An editing object is displayed within the graphic user interface in response to a selection of the graphic object by a user. The user is permitted to alter a value for one of the interrelated variables utilizing the editing object. A value for at least one other variable is automatically altered in response to the user altering the value for one of the interrelated variables utilizing the editing object. A display of the graphic object automatically altered in response to an alteration of the value for the at least one other variable, wherein the graphic object is efficiently manipulated.
