CHAPTER 6

Data Input

6-12 Writing, Drawing, and Editing

Paragraph Input 6

Another interface element accepts the input of multiple lines or paragraphs

of text. This interface element can appear simply as a blank area in which a

user can write information, but usually it contains one or more horizontal

dotted lines, like lined writing paper. These lines indicate to users that the

area accepts input. Figure 6-10 shows an example.

Structured List Input 6

The Newton interface also includes an element for the input of structured

lists such as outlines and checklists. A structured list consists of a sequence of

topics, each of which may be one or more paragraphs long. To the left of each

topic is a small circular topic marker and an optional checkbox. A user can

drag a topic’s marker to move that topic above or below another topic. A

user can make a topic subordinate or not subordinate to the topic above it by

dragging its marker right or left. This ability to create a topic hierarchy can

be suppressed by an application in any structured list. Figure 6-11 shows an

example of a structured list view.
