ABSTRACT:
Controlling the size of sides defining the area of a window presenting an enclosed area for displaying information on a display screen of a computer system. A transformation control can be presented on the display screen. This transformation control can be used to transform a window having a first geometrical shape to a window having a second geometrical shape. The window is transformed to the second geometrical shape in response to selection of the first transformation control. This transformation of the window is completed by adjusting the window sides, which define the presentation area for displaying information.
