Abstract

Gestures are described for manipulating tables, charts and graphs. For tables, a swipe gesture is described that deletes a column from a table when the gesture is detected on a column of the table. A pinch gesture is also described that combines two or more columns or rows of a table when the gesture is detected on columns of the table. For charts and graphs, a swipe gesture is described that changes the contents of the chart or graph when the gesture is detected on an axis label of the chart or graph. Another swipe gesture is describes that modifies the appearance of the chart or graph when the gesture is detected on or near an edge of the chart or graph and moving towards the center of the chart or graph.
