ABSTRACT:
A method and system for adjusting at position of an adjustable portion of a predefined shape. The predefined shape is displayed on a display with an adjust handle positioned near a reference point on the predefined shape. The position of the adjustable portion of the predefined shape is then adjusted in accordance with user input to reposition the adjust handle. The predefined shape is then again displayed having the adjustable portion as adjusted by the user input. The user input is performed by a user positioning device, such as a mouse, by dragging the adjust handle to the desired location. The adjustable portion is predefined with respect to the predefined shape, and is made up of certain segments of the predefined shape that are likely to be altered. In some cases, only segments directly adjacent to a vertex of a predefined shape are adjusted. In some cases, segments symmetrically opposite to those segments are also adjusted.
