Abstract
A method and apparatus for transitioning between a first type of display data and a second type of display data begins by mapping the first display data onto a plurality of object elements in accordance with a first alteration level. Note that the plurality of object-elements corresponds to a display area, which is a full-screen of a display device or a portion thereof. The process then continues then by successively altering Z values and/or physical coordinates of the plurality of object-elements.
