Methods, systems, and computer program products for presenting a plurality
of options for selection. Each option is organized into either a category or a
sub-category that is associated with a category. The association between categories
and sub-categories is independent of time. Categories are displayed along one axis
and sub-categories are displayed simultaneously along another orthogonal axis.
The axis chosen for categories may depend on the direction that text associated
with the categories is written. Categories and sub-categories are available for
immediate selection, without first having to highlight or select any option. To
account for a large number of options, categories and sub-categories may scroll
as needed. The appearance of categories and sub-categories may be distinguished
in some way, such as through colors, fonts, or borders.
