20090177998 | Method and System for Efficiently Adjusting a Timeline in a Time Window - A method of efficiently adjusting a timeline in a time window. An application program displays a window that includes a graphical user interface (GUI), at least a portion of time-based data, a timeline, and a slider bar. If a click and drag occurs while a cursor is over the slider bar, the application moves the slider bar and changes a position of data displayed in the window by an amount corresponding to the movement. The application increases the timeline scale if the slider bar reaches an edge of the timeline. If a click and drag occurs while the cursor is over a handle on an edge of the slider bar, the application resizes the slider bar and adjusts the timeline scale to correspond to the slider bar scale.
