Abstract

A method and an apparatus for providing a graphical user interface in a vehicle. The method involves graphical objects displayed completely visibly on a display panel in a first mode of operation of a display apparatus, the graphical objects are divided into a first set of graphical objects and a second set of graphical objects. In a second mode of operation, the display panel is reduced and the display panel is divided into a visible portion and a nonvisible portion so that, following a change from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation, the graphical objects in the first set are displayed completely on the visible portion of the display panel and the graphical objects in the second set are at least to some extent not displayed on the visible portion of the display panel.
