Abstract

The present invention provides computer executable instructions allowing for the manipulation of a virtual object. These instructions are configured to retrieve a first set of manipulation functions available for manipulating virtual objects. These are then configured to receive a selection input from an operator which selects at least one of a set of displayed virtual objects. Next, an editing context is determined for a virtual object that has been selected. Next, for each object a second set of manipulation functions is determined. This second set is a selection of functions taken from the first set of functions based on an editing context determined for the virtual object. Next, at least one icon represented above each member of said second set of functions is displayed in association with a virtual object selected. This invention provides rapid, succinct editing of virtual objects.
