Abstract
A method includes: displaying a first 2-D array of a plurality of user interface components on the display in a portrait orientation; detecting rotation of the display from the portrait orientation to a landscape orientation with one or more accelerometers; and, in response to detecting the rotation: rotating the first 2-D array of the plurality of user interface components on the display about an axis that is normal to a front surface of the display; replacing the first 2-D array with a second 2-D array of the plurality of user interface components on the display after the rotation of the first 2-D array exceeds a predefined condition; and rotating the second 2-D array of the plurality of user interface components on the display until the second 2-D array of the plurality of user interface components is in the landscape orientation.
