Interactor for a graphical object

Abstract:

A method, system and/or computer program product changes the properties of a graphical object. One or more processors receive a graphical display data set including information for generating a graphical display of a spreadsheet, where the spreadsheet comprises a cell having a perimeter that is defined by a plurality of edges. In the cell, a property adjusted by selecting a constrained edge of the cell is identified. A graphical control for the identified property is created and displayed in response to a user selecting the constrained edge and requesting the graphical control from a context menu associated with the cell, where activating the graphical control increases a size of the cell beyond the boundary conditions of the spreadsheet. A user input selecting the graphical control is received. In response, the cell is expanded beyond the boundary conditions of the spreadsheet and the property is displayed on the graphical user interface.
