Abstract

When using interactive graphical tools, users often have to manage a structure, i.e. the arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of the content. However, the interaction with structures may be complex, and not well integrated with the interaction with the content. Based on contextual inquiries and past work, we have identified a number of concepts and requirements about interaction with structure. We have explored a number of interactive tools and we present one of them in this paper: a new kind of property sheet that relies on the implicit structure of graphics. The interactions with the tool augment the scope of interactions to multiple objects.
