Abstract
Responsive to user interacting with a selectable object on a user interface, the selectable object is transitioned in an animated transitioning process into a dialog menu with selectable options. The animated transitioning process can include rotating a part of the selectable object (e.g., rotating a “+” symbol into an “x” symbol), changing a function of the part of the selectable object being rotated (e.g., from “Add” to “Close”), and changing the shape and/or size of the selectable object. As part of the animated transitioning process, dialog menu items may be displayed in the dialog menu. Once the animated transitioning process is complete, the user can interact with the dialog menu. Closing the dialog menu triggers an animated transitioning process that transitions the dialog menu to a selectable object.
