ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method and system for selecting elements in a graphical user interface (GUI) is presented. The method and system improves upon existing approaches by simplifying an element selection perimeter created in a document within a GUI. Preliminary selections and rejections of elements that are located inside or outside of an element selection perimeter, respectively, are also performed. The simplification of the element selection perimeter and the preliminary selections and rejections of elements provide element selections in a GUI quickly, using a minimized number and complexity of computations.
