Abstract
A selection-type user input corresponding to a selection position on a structured object displayed on a display device is received via a user interface device. The structured object includes a plurality of levels in a hierarchy or corresponding to a multi-dimensional coordinate space, and the plurality of levels includes a first level and a second level. When it is determined that the selection position is within the first level, first display data is generated that, when displayed by the display device, shows contents of the structured object within the first level as selected and does not show contents of the structured object within the second level as selected. When it is determined that the selection position is within the second level, second display data is generated that, when displayed by the display device, shows contents of the structured object within both the first level and the second level as selected.
