12. The method of gesture selection according to claim 9 , further comprising the step of:

evaluating metadata for each of the dynamic lexical elements encompassed in the selection area to determine whether a center of the dynamic lexical elements is within the selection area.

13. The method of gesture selection according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

evaluating metadata for each of the dynamic lexical elements encompassed in the selection area to determine whether a center of the dynamic lexical elements is within the selection area.

14. The method of gesture selection according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

using a center coordinates method to determine an eligibility of each of the dynamic lexical elements encompassed within the selection area.

15. The method of gesture selection according to claim 14 , further comprising the step of:

evaluating metadata for each of the dynamic lexical elements encompassed within the selection area, to determine whether the center of the object is within an enclosed area.

16. The method of gesture selection according to claim 15 , further comprising the step of:

including the dynamic lexical elements encompassed within the selection area in a subset to be stored in a memory device when the center of each of the dynamic lexical elements is found to be within the selection area.

17. The method of gesture selection according to claim 16 , further comprising the step of:

defining the selection area by the completed continuous arc.
