Device, method, and graphical user interface for resizing objects
A method for resizing a currently selected user interface object includes simultaneously displaying on a touch-sensitive display the currently selected user interface object having a center, and a plurality of resizing handles for the currently selected user interface object. The method also includes detecting a first contact on a first resizing handle in the plurality of resizing handles, and detecting movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive display. The method further includes, in response to detecting movement of the first contact, when a second contact is detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, resizing the currently selected user interface object about the center of the currently selected user interface object.
1. A computing device, comprising:
a touch-sensitive display;
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
simultaneously displaying on the touch-sensitive display:
a currently selected user interface object having a center; and
a plurality of resizing handles for the currently selected user interface object;
detecting a first contact on a first resizing handle in the plurality of resizing handles;
detecting movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive display; and,
in response to detecting movement of the first contact:
when a second contact on the currently selected user interface object, distinct from the first contact and stationary, is not detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, resizing the currently selected user interface object by moving the first resizing handle in accordance with the movement of the first contact; and, when the second contact on the currently selected user interface object, distinct from the first contact and stationary, is concurrently detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, resizing the currently selected user interface object about the center of the currently selected user interface object, wherein the center of the resized object remains fixed at a location on the display during the resizing.
2. The device of claim 1 , including instructions for:
when the second contact and a third contact are detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, proportionally resizing the currently selected user interface object about the center of the currently selected object.
3. The device of claim 1 , including instructions for:
displaying a center-resizing indicia while the second contact is detected on the touch-sensitive display.
4. The device of claim 1 , including instructions for:
in response to detecting termination of the second contact while continuing to detect movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive display, resizing the currently selected user interface object by moving the first resizing handle in accordance with the movement of the first contact.
5. A method, comprising:
at a computing device with a touch-sensitive display:
simultaneously displaying on the touch-sensitive display:
a currently selected user interface object having a center; and
a plurality of resizing handles for the currently selected user interface object;
detecting a first contact on a first resizing handle in the plurality of resizing handles;
detecting movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive display; and,
in response to detecting movement of the first contact:
when a second contact on the currently selected user interface object, distinct from the first contact and stationary, is not detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, resizing the currently selected user interface object by moving the first resizing handle in accordance with the movement of the first contact; and, when the second contact on the currently selected user interface object, distinct from the first contact and stationary, is concurrently detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, resizing the currently selected user interface object about the center of the currently selected user interface object, wherein the center of the resized object remains fixed at a location on the display during the resizing.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more programs include instructions for, when the second contact and a third contact are detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, proportionally resizing the currently selected user interface object about the center of the currently selected object.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more programs include instructions for displaying a center-resizing indicia while the second contact is detected on the touch-sensitive display.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more programs include instructions for, in response to detecting termination of the second contact while continuing to detect movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive display, resizing the currently selected user interface object by moving the first resizing handle in accordance with the movement of the first contact.
9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing device with a touch-sensitive display, cause the device to:
simultaneously display on the touch-sensitive display:
a currently selected user interface object having a center; and
a plurality of resizing handles for the currently selected user interface object;
detect a first contact on a first resizing handle in the plurality of resizing handles;
detect movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive display; and,
in response to detecting movement of the first contact:
when a second contact on the currently selected user interface object, distinct from the first contact and stationary, is not detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, resizing the currently selected user interface object by moving the first resizing handle in accordance with the movement of the first contact; and, when the second contact on the currently selected user interface object, distinct from the first contact and stationary, is concurrently detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, resizing the currently selected user interface object about the center of the currently selected user interface object, wherein the center of the resized object remains fixed at a location on the display during the resizing.
10. The computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, which when executed by the computing device with the touch-sensitive display, cause the device to, when the second contact and a third contact are detected on the touch-sensitive display while detecting movement of the first contact, proportionally resizing the currently selected user interface object about the center of the currently selected object.
11. The computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, which when executed by the computing device with the touch-sensitive display, cause the device to display a center-resizing indicia while the second contact is detected on the touch-sensitive display.
12. The computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, which when executed by the computing device with the touch-sensitive display, cause the device to, in response to detecting termination of the second contact while continuing to detect movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive display, resize the currently selected user interface object by moving the first resizing handle in accordance with the movement of the first contact.
